Shruti Haasan puts speculation to rest, says 'not in critical condition'

Shruti Haasan has shared an update on her health, quashing rumours that she was suffering from a serious illness.

The Yevadu actress recently opened up about her struggles with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and Endometriosis.

The actress took to social media to put all the speculations at rest.


"Just wanted to clarify that I had put up a post a couple of days ago about my workout routine and having PCOS, which a lot of women have. Yes, it is challenging, but no, it doesn't mean I am unwell or in critical condition of any kind. And I have realised that some news media outlets have blown it way out of proportion without reading the actual post, which is supposed to be positive. I also got calls today asking if I'm admitted in a hospital, which I am clearly not. I'm doing perfectly fine. I have had PCOS for years and I have been doing just fine. So, thank you for your concern," the actress said.

About a week ago, Shruti posted a workout video on Instagram. In the caption, the actress spoke about suffering from PCOS and Endometriosis, terming it “a tough fight with imbalance, bloating, and metabolic challenges.” The 36-year-old actress admitted that she was having difficult hormonal issues due to her illness, but that she has accepted it as a natural movement for her body.

“Facing some of the worst hormonal issues with my PCOS and endometriosis - women know it’s a tough fight with the imbalance and bloating and metabolic challenges - but instead of looking at it as a fight I choose to accept is as natural movement," she said.

Shruti also said that though her body was not perfect, her heart was and that she was fighting the illness by sleeping well and enjoying her workouts.

PCOS is a hormonal disorder among women that causes irregularities in the menstrual cycle and excessive androgen levels. PCOS can also lead to depression, obesity, and infertility.

Earlier, Actresses Sonam Kapoor and Sarah Ali Khan has opened up about their battle with PCOS.

Endometriosis is a tissue-related disorder that causes menstrual irregularities and severe pain in the pelvic region.
