New Delhi: On International Epilepsy Day, Fatima Sana Shaikh took a proactive stance to shed light on epilepsy, a neurological disorder she personally battles. Through an interactive 'Ask-Me-Anything' session on Instagram, the versatile actor opened up about her experiences, offering encouragement, and sharing insights on maintaining a healthy lifestyle while managing epilepsy.

By sharing her coping mechanisms, Fatima inspired her audience to approach the disorder with resilience and a positive mindset.
When someone asked about dealing with epilepsy, Fatima shared valuable insights into her routine, stating, “I just take my meds. Follow up with my neurologist, workout, mostly eat clean and laugh.” Her emphasis on regular exercise, clean eating, and a joyous spirit reflects her commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle despite the challenges posed by epilepsy.
Fatima also addressed queries from followers dealing with family members suffering from epilepsy. In response to one such question about supporting a sibling, she advised, “Ask him what he needs.

They don’t treat me differently. Bas, try to be his safe space.”
