Overview

  • In 2003, Sham Kaushal was diagnosed with abdominal cancer on the set of Lakshya and doctors warned he likely would not survive
  • Overwhelmed by the prognosis, he briefly considered jumping from the third floor of the army hospital but was immobilized by post-surgical pain
  • That night he prayed for ten more years of life to raise his young sons Vicky and Sunny Kaushal, a moment that restored his hope
  • He then underwent a year of tests and multiple surgeries, during which the cancer remained confined and was eventually declared cured
  • Now active in Bollywood, Kaushal publicly recounted his ordeal in Aman Aujla’s podcast to share a story of faith and resilience
