Overview

• On the premiere of Prime Video’s Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle, he gave a detailed account of surviving trigeminal neuralgia, appearing alongside Aamir Khan.
• He said the pain began on the 2007 Partner set when Lara Dutta brushed a strand of hair from his face.
• He described electric‑shock‑like attacks every four to five minutes for about seven and a half years that made routine activities, including eating and talking, extremely difficult.
• Early assessments focused on a dental cause, he said, noting that 750 mg painkillers did not help and that a drink or two only briefly spaced out the episodes.
• He called the disorder often the “suicidal disease” and said an hours‑long Gamma Knife procedure ended his pain after doctors had predicted only partial relief.
