"I popped the pill into my mouth, took a sip of water, and then felt my breath catch," the veteran actor recalled the horrific moment that made her feel helpless. In a social media post shared earlier this week, actor Zeenat Aman opened up about a rather horrific episode that led to quite a lot of panic and stress. The 73-year-old mentioned that she almost suffocated on her tablets one night.
"At the risk of sounding like an old lady suffocating on her tablets, allow me to share with you what happened last night," she began her post that accompanied a glamorous and fashionable photograph of hers, in which she posed in a yellow-and-grey-coloured gown with a matching cape. "It was the end of a long day of shoot at a studio in Andheri East. I had returned home.
..and.
..had swiftly gone through my night rituals.
My very last task before I could surrender to sleep was to take my blood pressure medication ," Aman wrote, adding that she was home-alone at that time. Naturally, the harrowing episode that followed left her in a state of absolute panic. "I popped the pill into my mouth, took a sip of water, and then felt my breath catch.
There it was, this little pill lodged in my throat. Too far down to regurgitate and too far up to swallow. I could still breathe, but it was restricted.
I took another drink of water, and then another and another, until the glass was empty but the pill remained stuck," the actor recalled, adding that there was nobody at home with her, other than her dog .
