Television actor Jasmin Bhasin has opened up about a frightening health emergency that led to her being hospitalized while she was in Dubai. Speaking about the experience in a recent podcast interview, the actor revealed that delaying medical attention allowed the infection to worsen, eventually requiring emergency treatment.
Jasmin said the incident was a wake-up call and urged people not to ignore persistent health symptoms.
‘I Was Rushed to the Emergency Room on My Birthday’
Recalling the experience, Jasmin shared that she initially underestimated the seriousness of her illness and wished she had sought medical care earlier.
She revealed that she was taken to the emergency room on her birthday after her condition deteriorated significantly.
According to the actor, medical tests showed that her C-reactive protein (CRP) level—an indicator commonly used to assess inflammation in the body—had risen to an extremely high level.
“I wish I had gone to the hospital earlier.”
Doctors Identified a Severe Infection
Jasmin explained that doctors informed her her CRP level had increased far beyond the normal range, indicating a serious inflammatory response.
She said medical professionals warned that untreated infections of this severity can lead to life-threatening complications if not managed promptly.
The actor remained hospitalized for three days before her condition stabilized.
After being discharged, she returned to India to continue treatment and undergo further medical evaluation.
Diagnosed With Terminal Ileitis
During her treatment, doctors diagnosed Jasmin with terminal ileitis, a condition involving inflammation of the terminal ileum—the final section of the small intestine.
The condition can develop due to several underlying causes, including infections, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease, certain medications, or other gastrointestinal disorders. Determining the exact cause typically requires additional medical investigations.
Jasmin said doctors are continuing to evaluate her condition to understand the underlying reason for the inflammation.
Focusing on Recovery
The actor shared that she had experienced recurring health problems over the past few months before receiving the diagnosis.
She said her current priority is completing treatment, following medical advice, and gradually returning to full health.
According to Jasmin, she is feeling better now and plans to take her recovery one step at a time.
Understanding Terminal Ileitis
Terminal ileitis refers to inflammation affecting the last portion of the small intestine. Symptoms may include:
- Persistent abdominal pain
- Fever
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss in some cases
Medical experts note that diagnosis often involves blood tests, imaging studies, stool analysis, and sometimes endoscopic procedures to identify the underlying cause and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
Anyone experiencing persistent gastrointestinal symptoms or high fever should seek prompt medical evaluation rather than delaying treatment.
Work Front
Jasmin Bhasin remains one of Indian television’s well-known personalities, having appeared in several popular reality shows including Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi.
She recently completed filming for the upcoming season of Khatron Ke Khiladi and is expected to return to work once her recovery is complete.
