Actress Mandana Karimi posted a heartfelt health update on Instagram on Tuesday, stating that she had been admitted to the hospital due to extreme stress, dehydration, and exhaustion.
Sharing photos from her hospital bed, she opened up about how her demanding, fast-paced lifestyle had worn her down and how her body finally made her stop.
“I’ve been on the move for months, nonstop flights, events, late nights, meetings, chasing deadlines and dreams. The boss-lady energy has been real. But on Friday, my body said, ‘not today.’ What I feared was my last heartbeat turned out to be exhaustion, dehydration, and stress disguised as something far scarier,” she wrote.
She had several tests and scans as a result of the scare. Although they fortunately did not exhibit any long-term harm, the experience had a profound emotional impact.
“I’ve been running on adrenaline, ignoring its whispers, waiting until it had to scream. Watching the echo of my own heart, I couldn’t help but say ‘thank you.’ Thank you for holding me when I push too far. Thank you for forgiving me when I forget to slow down,” she continued.
In a powerful reminder to herself and others, she added, “This post is my reminder, and maybe yours too, that strength isn’t just about powering through. It’s also about pausing. It’s about honouring the body that carries us through everything, even when we don’t always show it grace. To my heart, to my body: I see you. I appreciate you. I promise to take better care.”
The post quickly struck a chord online, with fans pouring in love and support. “Take care, rest well, and get well soon, you awesome woman,” wrote one follower. Another added, “Always a superwoman. Always inspiring.”
Mandana, who was last seen in the 2022 Netflix film Thar, has largely stepped away from the screen in recent years — but her voice, honesty, and resilience continue to shine through.
