Ayushmann Khurana’s Wife Hospitalized After Bottle Gourd Toxicity

Hear, hear! Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife Tahira Kashyap’s recent post on Instagram is something that we all need to gain awareness of. Tahira was admitted to the ICU after she suffered from bottle gourd toxicity. The author-filmmaker shared an Instagram reel where she talked about how her health deteriorated after she drank bottle gourd juice even when it tasted bitter and ended up with “17 bouts of vomit.”

Her “blood pressure dropped to 40” and soon after, she was taken to a hospital. Tahira was treated in the ICU for two days and she informed her followers herself that she is doing better now. However, the star wife said that she wanted to spread awareness about bottle gourd toxicity so that it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Her caption read: “PLS LISTEN TO THIS! Instagram is an amazing platform for spreading awareness! Pls read about BOTTLE GOURD TOXICITY! I might be sounding all sorted and cool in this video that I made from my set, but I was in deep sh#%! Sharing deets as doctors also asked me to spread the awareness around too.

In the name of health just don’t keep popping juices! There was a reason why I was in the ICU for the same, don’t want to divulge more gory details, but pls spread the word around.”

In the video, Tahira Kashyap revealed that she used to have a concoction of turmeric, bottle gourd and amla. She shared that she drank bottle gourd juice every day and urged her fans not to consume bottle gourd if it tastes bitter as it could be harmful.
