Earlier in March, Sana spoke with Bharti Singh on her podcast about her liver disease and an immunity disorder. Sana shared that she's been dealing with autoimmune hepatitis, a condition wherein her body cells attack her liver, since 2020. She's been on medication for it.
She said, 'I have a liver disease, it was diagnosed in 2020. It has no specific symptoms... in this, my body cells are attacking the organ, so in my case, it's sometimes Lupus; it hits your kidneys or causes arthritis. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has myositis, which is a muscle condition. I have it with the liver.'
In 2023, Sana on Instagram posted a video and spoke about her health. "It's said that when everything is going well, then something happens. I think with me also that happened when my career was taking off and I had to take a pause. I was working non stop but I had to take a seat back and focus on my health. I was deteriorating not physically but internally I was. And I think for the last one and a half years I have been doing that. I have been just focusing on me, myself and my health mentally, emotionally, physically drained,' she had said.
Sana was one of the contestants in the reality TV show Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 in 2021. She is best known for her role of Dr Aliya Sanyal in Vish. Sana made her film debut in 2014 with the Telugu film Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya.

Why brain fog may be a sign of blood sugar instability

Well, researchers say yes! One of the most overlooked causes of brain fog is blood sugar instability. Since the brain is dependent upon a steady supply of glucose for energy, fluctuations in blood sugar levels, whether it is too high or too low, or constantly changing, can significantly impair cognitive function.

Kareena Kapoor's nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar calls ‘home cooked food' best for weight loss; shares 5 signs of poor diet
Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, who has worked with actors like Kareena Kapoor, is quite active on social media and regularly shares practical health and wellness tips with her Instagram followers. In her August 11 post, she listed 5 signs that your diet might be totally unsustainable. Let's take a look. Rujuta Diwekar highlights 5 signs of an unsustainable diet for your well-being. 1. Protein overload Your diet is dominated by a single nutrient. In 2025, chances are, it's protein. Without realising, you end up creating an imbalance on your plate and in your gut. 2. No spice, no fun You've given up your daily dose of condiments, and now you find yourself craving something salty, spicy, or sweet every night. 3. Portion panic You worry you're eating too much, so you start cutting back on roti, that spoonful of rice, and more. You want to lose weight, but instead, you seem to lose your confidence and clarity. 4. Festivals feel like cheating You start thinking modak on Ganpati, sheer korma on Eid, or cake on Christmas counts as "cheating." Festivals, friends, and family begin losing their charm, and slowly, you feel lonely. 5. Gut health overload Your kitchen cabinet now has a probiotic drink, a prebiotic supplement, and some digestive concoction. You can't remember the last time your stomach felt completely clear, there's always some discomfort lingering. "Food is culture, community, and cuisine. It's a wholesome way to live. Home-cooked food is the easiest, most economical, and most effective way to lose weight, without making it the primary purpose of your life," advises Rujuta.

Always seek the advice of your doctor with any questions about a medical condition.

India sends diplomat for talks to Damascus
India has made a formal outreach to Syria's provisional government led by former Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, with a middle-ranking diplomat visiting Damascus for meetings with Syrian ministers. India sends diplomat for talks to Damascus This was the first official visit to Damascus from the Indian side since al-Sharaa, whose group was once affiliated to al-Qaeda, assumed power after ousting the regime of Bashar al-Assad following a lightning offensive last December. There was no official word from the Indian side on the visit by Suresh Kumar, director of the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) division of the external affairs ministry. Kumar's meetings with Syria's foreign and education ministers in Damascus on Monday were reported by state-run SANA news agency. 'A beginning had to be made and India had to register its presence. You have to open the door at some point,' a person familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity. Syria's foreign minister Asaad Al-Shaibani and the Indian delegation led by Kumar discussed 'issues of mutual concern and ways of enhancing relations between the two countries in the interests of both peoples', SANA reported. The meeting between Kumar and Syrian health minister Musab Al-Ali focused on enhancing health cooperation, particularly in the fields of pharmaceutical industries and medical training, according to another report by SANA. The two sides also discussed a mechanism for implementing a scholarship for Syrian students, and allocating a specialised engineering cooperation programme for government employees. Al-Ali stressed Syria's aspiration to establish a strong partnership with India in pharmaceutical industries and health technologies in order to support the national health sector and provide medicines. Kumar said India will continue funding specialised training courses for Syrian personnel, coordinate the training of Syrian doctors in Indian centres, and enhance cooperation in nursing, pharmaceutical industries and pharmaceutical exports, the report said. India has had strong political ties with Syria and both countries were key members of the Non-Aligned Movement. India's traditional support for Arab causes such as the issue of Palestine was appreciated by Syria. India also backed Syria's right to the Golan Heights, currently occupied by Israel, and its full return to the country. Under the Assad family, the Syrian government usually backed India at multilateral forums, including on the issue of Kashmir. In response to a request from Damascus for emergency humanitarian aid in 2021, the Indian government gifted 2,000 tonnes of rice to Syria. During the Covid-19 pandemic, India sent a 10 tonnes of medicines to Syria. This was the largest medical assistance from any country to Syria during the pandemic. India has been monitoring the situation in Syria since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. At the time, India evacuated 77 Indian nationals from Syria. 'We hope that the new constitution, due to be drafted, takes into account the interests of all the sections of the Syrian society,' the external affairs ministry said in a statement around the time of the change of government. In January, al-Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda commander who went by the name Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, became president of the provisional government. People familiar with the matter said the outreach to Damascus was influenced by Syria's strategic location in West Asia – the country shares borders with five key regional actors, Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Lebanon – and the long-standing ties between the two sides. The outreach also follows the US decision to end sanctions on Syria after a meeting between al-Sharaa and President Donald Trump in May.
