Pahlaj Nihalani on his 28 days of hospitalisation between life and death: тАЬI vomited a whole lot of blood. IтАЩve been rescued from the jaws of death.тАЭ : Bollywood News
Producer-director┬аPahlaj┬аNihalani┬аhas returned home from hospital after 28 days of hanging on a thread between life and death. And it wasnтАЩt┬аCovid. тАЬI didnтАЩt tell anyone about it. Only my family knew. And┬аShatrughan┬аSinhaji┬аwho is family. This journalist called up every one in my family repeatedly until he got the truth. ThatтАЩs how everyone came to know. Otherwise who cares in this industry whether you live or die, especially during these times when life has become so uncertain,тАЭ says Pahlajji, a veteran producer and former chairperson of the censor board, sounding frail.
So what happened? тАЬAround a month ago I was at home alone. Even my wife was away. When suddenly one evening some members of the unit for a film that we made during the pandemic, dropped in. It was late. And I had to order for them from outside. My food was cooked at home. I never eat outside. But there wasnтАЩt enough for everyone. So we ordered food. Chicken is the only non-vegetarian item I eat, so they urged me to join them. Out of politeness I agreed. The minute I bit into the chicken I knew something was wrong. But the others assured me it was okay. So we ate. They left. After a while I felt uneasy and vomited. I felt okay after that. So I just tried to sleep. At around 3 am I vomited a whole lot of blood. ThatтАЩs when I panicked and called my son. Luckily he stays in the same building.тАЭ
From this point in the nightmarish experience, PahlajjiтАЩs family took over. тАЬThey called our doctor, and he advised that I be taken to the hospital immediately. I was at Nanavati hospital for the next 28 days. No one was allowed to visit me because of the pandemic. I spoke to my wife on video calls.тАЭ
Pahlajji┬аis thankful to his doctor, especially Dr┬аJayant┬аBarve. тАЬWithin hours all my tests were done. I was lucky. Anyone with a less caring family and less attentive medical team would have died. IтАЩve been pulled out of the jaws of death.тАЭ
Now all his well-wishers are wondering if it was Covid. тАЬNo, it wasnтАЩt that. I got┬аCovid in April 2020. I recovered at home. This was much more serious. I was hospitalized for the first time in my life. No one knew if IтАЩd come out alive. I survived because God and my family were with me.тАЭ
Weak but resolute,┬аPahlajji┬аintends to take strong legal action against the eatery that served him his near-lethal meal on that fateful night. тАЬIt could have been the last meal of my life. Everyone who ate that night was ill. But I was hit the hardest. I urge everyone to have only home-cooked meals in these hard times.тАЭ
