AnupamKherhad a health scare in New York while attending an awards function earlier this month. A blind item in aMumbaitabloid on Sunday morning hadAnupamconfronting the bull by the horns. RevealsAnupam, Firstly it was not a heart-related ailment, meaning a heart attack as the blind item in the tabloid implies. Why so coy about it? Ive nothing to hide. We were all together in Salman Khans room in New York when I had a blackout. I had not eaten anything for one and a half daysbig mistakeand my sugar-level had fallen dangerously. This of course I didnt know when the blackout happened. SalmanKhan, who was withAnupamat the time when it happened, panicked. He called the para-medics who rushed in immediately. Laws in the US about medical emergencies during international events are very strict. No one can take then lightly. I told the para-medics I was okay, and didnt need any further treatment. But they insisted on a full medical investigation. Anupamwent through every possible test and declared in perfect health. The actor, who is this week seen as aJaiprakashNarayandoppelganger inMadhurBhandarkars unjustly savaged InduSarkar , saysSalmanwas a big help at the time of the health scare. He not only called for medical help he remained on alert all through. I am blessed to have friends like him in the film industry.
