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,” she wrote alongside her video.Sana explained how she started reading about the disorder ‘bulimia’ and finally understood her condition.”And even then the shame of admitting it, even just to myself, took years to move through.I’m sharing this because somewhere out there someone is carrying something they don’t even have a name for yet.

And there is a way through. I am fully recovered, and I have never felt more at home in my body or my life,” Sana wrote.As per the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bulimia is characterised by “symptoms of binge eating and compensatory behaviour and overevaluation of weight and shape.”Sana Saeed began her acting journey as a child artist in Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’.
