Overview
- Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast, Warsi shares a first-person account of his mother’s dialysis and her repeated requests for water.
- He says doctors told the family not to give her water, he refused, and she died that night, a memory he says still haunts him.
- Warsi reflects that, in hindsight, he wishes he had given her the water, framing it as a lesson about honoring the patient’s wishes.
- He recalls losing both parents around age 14 and feeling forced to grow up quickly, initially suppressing grief before breaking down weeks later.
- He describes severe financial strain at the time, earning about Rs 175 per show while his mother’s weekly dialysis cost roughly Rs 800, and having few early family memories after being sent to boarding school at eight.
