Kuch Kuch Hota Hai child star Sana Saeed reveals she battled Bulimia: “For six years I had no name for what I used to be going through”

Sana Saeed: “I had no name for what I used to be going through”
Speaking about her journey, Sana admitted that she carried an ideal deal of shame because she believed she was the one person facing such struggles: “For six years I had no name for what I used to be going through.”
She explained that not knowing what she was coping with made the experience much more isolating. Recalling the turning point in her recovery, Sana said: “I used to be eager to improve and discover a healthy method to eat, and eventually I got here across a book on recovery that gave me the language for what I used to be actually coping with.”
The actor added that it took her 4 years to completely recuperate from Bulimia.
Why she selected to talk now
Sana said she decided to talk publicly only after reaching a spot of healing, hoping her story could help others going through similar experiences: “Now that I’m healed, it matters to me deeply that if my story helps even one person feel less alone in theirs, that is price greater than the discomfort of being vulnerable in public.”
Pressure to look a certain way
The Student of the Yr actor also reflected on the pressure surrounding appearance within the entertainment industry. She recalled that conversations during her college years often revolved around weight-reduction plan and dropping pounds.
Speaking in regards to the impact of working in front of the camera, Sana said constant scrutiny over appearance can complicate an individual’s relationship with their body: “Being on camera, being commented on, having your appearance be a part of the job description.”
Looking back, she admitted she didn’t have the emotional tools on the time to separate her self-worth from how she looked, something she now understands a lot better after her recovery.
