Actress Shilpa Shetty’s younger sister Shamita Shetty enjoys a huge social media fan base, despite failing to make her name in the Hindi entertainment industry like the former. The reality show star often takes to her official handles to share glimpses of her personal life and professional endeavours. On Tuesday, she shared a video on her official Instagram handle to inform the netizens that she has been suffering from endometriosis. She revealed that she has undergone treatment for the same.
Dressed in a hospital gown, Shamita sits on a hospital bed as she talks to her elder sister Shilpa Shetty. She shares an update on her health and urges her female fans to go through regular checkups. The 45-year-old actress went on to advice her female fans to always listen to their body when it is in pain. For those who don’t know, endometriosis is a disease where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. Quoted by the Hindustan Times, the actress said in the video, “All the women out there, please google endometriosis. You need to know what the problem is all about. Because you probably have it and you don’t even know you have it.” ALSO READ: Shilpa Shetty Gets TROLLED As She Rides Horses At Vaishno Devi With Sister Shamita Shetty; Netizens Say, ‘Yoga Karke Kya Fayda If You Cant Walk For Mata Rani’
