Protective bond on set

Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh recently opened up about living with epilepsy, a condition that causes sudden seizures. Her Gustaakh Ishq co-star Vijay Varma recalled witnessing her seizure on set, saying he felt “helpless” despite her having briefed the team with “guidelines” beforehand. He told Mashable India, “I felt so vulnerable.
