Mumbai:
She has already postponed nose surgery once. This time, Farah Khan bolted from the operation theatre when a thick needle was inserted through her nose!
Says Farah, "I've had sinus attacks for a year now. However, it got really bad last week after I finished shooting for a song in Chandigarh for Joker. I became so unwell I couldn't move. The cold had blocked my nose. I could barely breathe. My doctor advised an immediate operation to drain my nasal passage of fluids. I chickened out as I hate surgery! I told him I'd show up Monday. I was on heavy antibiotics till then."
The scene however, was nothing short of slapstick. "My doctor put me on local anesthesia. As I lay on the operation table, I saw this giant needle being inserted into my nose. I panicked. The nurse offered to hold my hand but I was so scared by that time, that I would have no needle up my nose, at least as long as I was conscious!"
Off came her surgical gown, on came her clothes, out of her mouth came a few words to her doctor and then she bolted. "I later told my doctor I'd have the surgery after a week! And he has to give me general anesthesia. And if I feel I'm getting better, I won't do the surgery at all."
Farah then did a promo video shoot for Just Dance, a reality TV show she judges, that evening. All in a day's work!
