Actress Kajal Aggarwal, who's one of the top heroines of Indian film industry, starring in multiple movies across languages has revealed today that she had been diagnosed with a health issue from childhood and opened up on dealing with the disease.

Kajal revealed that she was diagnosed with bronchial asthma at the age of 5. She posted “At the age of five, I was diagnosed with bronchial Asthma, the first thing I remember was having major dietary restrictions. Imagine a kid who had to steer clear of dairy and chocolate. And it’s not like it got any easier as I grew up. Every winter season, or every time I was exposed to any sort of dust or smoke, something that’s prevalent in our country, my symptoms flared up. In order to deal with such things in the best possible way, I started using inhalers and noticed a difference instantly,”

Her post further read "And while it does not bother me, there are millions of people in our country who need inhalers, but choose not to use them because of this very problem – social stigma. There’s nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to using an inhaler, privately or publicly. And to help India realize this, today I #SayYesTolnhalers, and I urge my friends, followers & family to join me.” Kajal Aggarwal who recently married her longtime boyfriend Gautam Kitchlu is currently acting in movies like Indian 2, Ghosty, Acharya and Mumbai saga.
