"Here I was, all ready to party my way into 2026, when my appendix sent me a reminder to slow down, breathe deep, and give thanks. Immense gratitude for: - modern medicine (still can't understand how that whole 12mm dia appendix came out through a 10.5mm catheter, thank god I'm not a doctor), - Dr Kayomarz Kapadia and the whole surgical team, - Ira, Popeye and Shefali for tlc and hospital sleepover fun, - Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital's super care ,
- my 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 posted.
"Well, I've been discharged and I'm back home, ready to ease myself into the new year. 2025 has been good to me and mine, and here's hoping 2026 will be kind, fun, full of love - AND BETTER AQI - for all.
