There have been plenty of rumors about why Nargis Fakhri left India in the middle of Housefull 3 promotions. One of them being – she had a nervous breakdown after being ditched by boyfriend Uday Chopra. However, the actress has now revealed that she was suffering from a life threatening medical condition.
The-36-year-old put all rumors to rest, revealing that she had to rush back to US after suffering from arsenic and lead poisoning.
“When I came here, I had arsenic and lead poisoning and no one knew what was wrong with me. It can happen in many ways — it could be in the water, food, rusted lead pipes in an old building… The doctor tested me, but he was so scared because it was at a very high level and I asked him ‘What do I do?’ Then I cured myself. Ayurveda is based on naturopathy, herbs basically but it was a combination of different things that I researched and six months later I got the test done again and there was nothing! The doctor was like ‘Oh, my God! How did you do this?’ And I said I will tell you when I see you,” she said in an interview with DNA.
Fakhri said that her mother who suffered from breast cancer was also cured with the help of herbal medication. The doctors initially told her that she had fibroids and they wanted to cut her uterus out.
