Panchayat and Paatal Lok fame Aasif Khan, who recently made headlines for his hospitalised due to a health issue, has now been discharged and is recovering well. The actor reassured fans that his condition was not as serious as initially reported. He also clarified that he did not suffer a heart attack, like rumours suggested. The 34-year-old actor further explained that while the symptoms were similar to those of a heart attack, it was actually a digestive issue that led to his hospitalisation.
During a conversation with The Times Of India, Aasif shared that he was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), adding that he is feeling much better now and is on the path to recovery. Aasif told the portal, "So first of all, I want to clarify—it was not a heart attack. It was gastroesophageal reflux disease. The symptoms felt like a heart attack, but I’m totally fit."
He further mentioned that doctors have advised him to make a few lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and regular exercise.“I’ve been told to stop eating dal baati, limit my non-veg, and work out more. I don’t think it should impact my work. Something or the other happens in everyone’s life. People move on," he added
