Shah Rukh Khan’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai co-star Sana Saeed has revealed that she struggled with bulimia from a young age, saying she spent years suffering in silence because she did not know she had an eating disorder.In a video posted on her Instagram handle, Sana said, “I cannot constantly want to hide and eat or be worried that she [someone] will enter my room and think that I am overeating. I remember when I started reading the book, I was like… because you are so scared, you finally know what the problem is and you don’t want to face it. You have lived with it for so many years; you think something is absolutely wrong with you.”View this post on InstagramThe actor, who also starred in Alia Bhatt-Varun Dhawan-Sidharth Malhotra’s Student Of The Year (2012), shared that it was tough to accept that she has bulimia. “I remember telling myself, ‘Okay, it’s some sort of an eating disorder. But it’s not this,’ because it was so difficult for me to admit to myself that I had bulimia. I never heard about it growing up. I wish I’d heard about it, so I would have gone straight to the problem,” she added.ALSO READ | PM Modi uses Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to redefine India-Indonesia ties; Karan Johar reactsAlong with the post, Sana Saeed wrote in the caption, “I didn’t know I had an eating disorder for years. Not because I wasn’t suffering, but because I had never heard the words. Growing up, nobody talked about it. There was no language for what I was going through, so I carried it silently and alone for a long time. When I finally read about bulimia, I understood for the first time what was happening to me. And even then, the shame of admitting it, even just to myself, took years to move through.”“I am fully recovered and I have never felt more at home in my body or my life.
