Actor Sana Makbul diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis: This didn’t happen overnight...

Sana Makbul reveals she has Liver Cirrhosis

Recently, actor Sana Makbul's friend Aashna posted a picture of her from a hospital bed, which alarmed her well-wishers.

Sana has now disclosed that her health has gotten much worse. She has been managing autoimmune hepatitis for a while, but she is currently fighting liver cirrhosis, a severe progression of the illness.

“I’ve been living with autoimmune hepatitis for a while now, but recently things got worse. My immune system started attacking my liver more aggressively, and I’ve now been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis,” Sana shares candidly, adding, “but I’m trying to stay strong and taking one day at a time.” She has begun immunotherapy and is focusing on her recovery with determination.

“The doctors and I are doing everything we can to avoid a liver transplant. I’ve started immunotherapy — it’s really intense and tiring. Some days are harder than others. But I’m holding on to hope. I just want to get better without needing something so big as a liver transplant. It’s not going to be easy, but I am not ready to give up so easily,” she reveals.

“Some days I cry, some days I laugh, but every day, I try. As they say, healing is a journey, and I’m learning as I go.”

While her health decline has been gradual, a recent acute flare-up forced her to halt her professional commitments. “This didn’t happen overnight; I’ve been managing it for a while. Recently, it flared up badly, which has made me pause my work commitments,” Sana explains.

“I’ve had to pause a few things, and it breaks my heart a little, as I have worked really hard to achieve all the success, and now when things were falling into place, my health is not in great shape,” she admits. Yet despite the setback, Sana remains resolute: “I may be walking slower right now, but I’m still moving, and that’s all that matters right now.”

The emotional toll of facing such a chronic illness while maintaining independence is something Sana speaks of with heartfelt honesty. “It’s hard emotionally, mentally, physically, especially when you’re the one who has to keep yourself going, financially and otherwise. But I keep telling myself this is just a phase. I have to be extra careful now. Life is not the same anymore, but I want to live fully; I’ll come out of this stronger, and that I am pretty sure of, as I am a fighter,” she states.

Sana also reflects on the support she receives from her family. “My family has been my anchor through all of this. I think sometimes it’s harder for them to watch me in pain than it is for me to live it. They’ve seen me break down,” she says.

“My mom doesn’t say much, but her silence is filled with strength. My dad puts on a brave face, even when I know he’s worried. They never let me feel alone, even on the toughest days. Healing isn’t just about medicine; it’s about feeling loved.”

For the unaware, Sana Makbul got her fame from Bigg Boss OTT season 3.
