She then took a moment to mention the doctors, staff, Ira, the daughter of her ex-husband Aamir Khan, the modern medications that aided in the quick recovery, and her friends and family, "who mostly came around to laugh at my plumped lips - an allergic reaction, sadly they're back to normal and unglam now," she wrote in jest.
