Veteran actor Aruna Irani recently made shocking revelations about her health. The actress opened up about facing a major health scare in the past, where she was diagnosed with breast cancer twice. Notably, both times, she chose to battle the deadly disease privately without the media glare. She also revealed that she denied taking chemotherapy after her diagnosis since she was afraid of working without hair.
During a recent chat with Lehren, Aruna recalled how she sensed something was not right while she was shooting. The actress shared, "Aise hi ek din shooting kar rahi thi, pata nahi mujhe kaise pata laga par maine bola ‘Mujhe kuch lag raha hai’ (One day, I was shooting as usual. I don't know how, but I just felt something and said, 'I feel like something's wrong')."
