On
International
Epilepsy
Day,
Fatima
Sana
Shaikh
took
a
proactive
stance
to
shed
light
on
epilepsy,
a
neurological
disorder
she
personally
battles.
Through
an
interactive
'Ask-Me-Anything'
session
on
Instagram,
the
versatile
actor
opened
up
about
her
experiences,
offering
encouragement,
and
sharing
insights
on
maintaining
a
healthy
lifestyle
while
managing
epilepsy.
During
the
ask-me-anything
session,
the
vivacious
actress
engaged
in
a
candid
conversation
with
her
followers,
encouraging
them
to
open
up
about
their
concerns
and
queries
regarding
epilepsy.
By
sharing
her
coping
mechanisms,
Fatima
inspired
her
audience
to
approach
the
disorder
with
resilience
and
a
positive
mindset.
When
someone
asked
about
dealing
with
epilepsy,
Fatima
shared
valuable
insights
into
her
routine,
stating,
"I
just
take
my
meds.
Follow
up
with
my
neurologist,
workout,
mostly
eat
clean
and
laugh."
Her
emphasis
on
regular
exercise,
clean
eating,
and
a
joyous
spirit
reflects
her
commitment
to
maintaining
a
healthy
lifestyle
despite
the
challenges
posed
by
epilepsy.
Fatima
also
addressed
queries
from
followers
dealing
with
family
members
suffering
from
epilepsy.
In
response
to
one
such
question
about
supporting
a
sibling,
she
advised,
"Ask
him
what
he
needs.
Like
for
me,
my
family
and
friends
are
my
safe
space.
If
I
am
with
them,
I
will
be
safe
if
I
get
an
episode.
And
I'll
be
taken
care
of.
And
if
they
are
confused,
they
ask
me.
They
don't
treat
me
differently.
Bas,
try
to
be
his
safe
space."
In
a
light-hearted
moment,
a
follower
inquired
about
how
Fatima
handles
stress,
to
which
she
responded
in
a
quirky
manner,
saying,
"Naach
ke!" This
playful
response
showcases
the
actor's
ability
to
maintain
a
positive
outlook,
even
in
challenging
situations.
Fatima
recently
commenced
shooting
for
her
upcoming
project,
'Ul
Jalool
Ishq,'
in
Amritsar.
