When Sushmita Sen battled Addison disease

This is not the first time Sushmita Sen has faced such a big health issue. Back in 2014, the former Miss Universe shocked everyone when she revealed about her Addison disease. It is a condition where one's body stops producing enough hormones. There's barely any aldosterone and cortisol produced by the kidneys. It causes darkening of the skin, extreme fatigue, weight loss and more.

It was post that, Sen became extra cautious about her health and started her fitness journey. She is a big fan of pilates and nunchaku meditation. After recovering, the actress told that nunchaku meditation worked wonders for her healing process. Her Instagram is flooded with workout videos and posts where she can be seen sweating it out in her home gym.
