Panchayat actor Aasif Khan shares health update, reveals he is stronger and much better now
Actor Aasif Khan, known for his roles in the web series ‘Pataal Lok’ and ‘Panchayat,’ was admitted to Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai last month. While it was earlier reported that he suffered a heart attack, he later clarified it was actually gastroesophageal reflux disease, which caused heart attack-like symptoms. Now, nearly three weeks after the health scare, Aasif shared that he has quit smoking and hasn’t had a cigarette in 21 days. He shared a few pictures from the hospital, which left fans wondering if he was still admitted. However, he clarified that he has returned home and shared a health update, saying he is much better now and feeling stronger.
On Sunday, Aasif Khan shared a series of pictures from the hospital. He wrote, “Log kehte hain 21 din me har acchi buri aadat chhut jaati hai , today its been 21 days since i quit smoking. Its friendship day today to mujhe laga isse best day kya ho sakta hai apne dosto se me kitna pyar karta hoon ye batane k liye , zindagi me utaar chadav aate rehte hain lekin chadav me apke sath ek hujum chalta hai….logo ka sailaab bheed , lekin utaar me jo sath rahe un sabko happy friendship day (They say it takes 21 days for every good or bad habit to break. Today marks 21 days since I quit smoking. It’s Friendship Day today, and I thought, what better day than this to tell my friends how much I love them. Life keeps bringing ups and downs, but in the highs, your support marches like a flood… a crowd of people. But in the lows, those who stay with you—happy Friendship Day to all of them).”
He further reflected on his recent health scare, and urged people not to wait to be hospitalized to realize their mistakes, or to recognize true friends. He wrote, “Dosto se roz milo , zindagi k saude 20-30 rupay ki chizo se mat karo !!! bas bad me shayad kabhi hasunga ye baate padh k (Meet your friends every day. Don’t make life’s deals over things worth 20-30 rupees !!! Maybe someday, I’ll laugh reading these words).”

Additionally, he has been advised to exercise more. “I’ve been told to stop eating dal baati, limit my non-veg, and work out more. I don’t think it should impact my work. Something or the other happens in everyone’s life. People move on,” he said.
