Zeenat Aman has a ‘suffocating’ experience with her nightly medicine, says ‘panic began to set in’ as the pill got stuck

The Satyam Shivam Sundaram actor wrote that she was alone at home and “panic began to set in”. She called her doctor, whose number was busy, and so she called her son Zahaan Khan who rushed over to her house. “As I waited for him, the discomfort in my gullet grew. I could think of nothing but that deviant pharmaceutical robbing me of easy breath. There’s no dramatic ending to this story. Zahaan landed up, we finally got through to the doctor who said it would dissolve in time, and I spent the next few hours sipping warm water and waiting,” she wrote.

Zeenat Aman said that she woke up the next morning with a new lesson she learnt. “There will always be difficult times in one’s life that demands less action and more patience. The pill is a metaphor for that situation. It was all I could think about, it’s discomfort was intense, I sought solutions from others, but ultimately all I could do was practice patience and control over my own fears. And then when it dissolved – it was good for me. Sometimes it’s important to tackle an issue head-on. To confront, challenge, change,” she wrote.

Zeenat will next be seen in the film Bun Tikki, which also stars Abhay Deol and Shabana Azmi. The film recently premiered at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
