Celebrities across the world are known for their strict diet and fitness regime. Even then, there are certain autoimmune or rare diseases that have affected a few celebs and they had to adapt to a particular lifestyle to start living with them as such conditions can go into remission, but there is no cure for them.
Here, we have listed a few celebrities who never shied away from opening up about their disease:
Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Tollywood beauty has always been very active on social media. However, in the last few months, her number of posts has declined, and whatever messages she shared indicated that there is some problem brewing up in the background. Samantha cleared the confusion by sharing on her Insta page recently that she is suffering from Myositis which is an autoimmune condition.
In her post, The Family Man 2 actress said that she wanted to share the news once the disease went into remission but since it is taking longer than expected, she decided to let her fans know about the condition she is currently fighting.
While doctors have said that the 35-year-old will completely recover from this condition, her photograph from the hospital left many of her fans devastated.
Selena Gomez
A few years ago, sensational pop singer Selena Gomez shocked her fans after revealing that she has been quietly battling Lupus for some time and that is why she has been regularly taking breaks from music.
She had to undergo chemotherapy to combat the onset of Lupus which is a chronic autoimmune condition causing pain, swelling, and inflammation. The condition also led to a lot of health complications which forced her to get a kidney transplant at a very young age.
Gigi Hadid
The supermodel had to battle Hashimoto’s disease which can be said to be a curse for those in the beauty and modeling business. This autoimmune condition is a type of thyroid disease that leads to loss of hair, weight gain/weight loss, fatigue, and loss of concentration.
Gigi was rapidly losing weight although she needed to gain it for looking curvaceous and in shape.
Salman Khan
The Bollywood superstar first opened up about his health problems two decades ago sharing that he suffers from Trigeminal Neuralgia, a facial nerve disorder that is caused due to the inflammation of the facial trigeminal nerve. It leads to intense pain and can also cause depression in patients.
Salman Khan also said that due to the pain at one point in his life, he even had suicidal thoughts.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga suffers from a chronic condition that causes severe body pain, extreme tiredness, sleeping issues, trouble concentrating, and muscle stiffness. The Oscar-winner had to cancel her concerts across the globe as the autoimmune condition caused a lot of complications in her life.
