South Indian star Anushka Shetty sheds light on her battle with Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA), a rare neurological disorder.
Anushka reveals experiencing uncontrollable laughing episodes that last for 15-20 minutes, causing disruptions during filming comedic scenes. While laughter is usually seen as positive, PBA disrupts emotional regulation, making it a significant challenge for the actress.
What is Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA)?
PBA affects the brain, leading to outbursts of laughter or crying that are disproportionate to the situation. These episodes can occur at any time and are beyond the individual’s control.
In a candid interview with Indiaglitz, Shetty discusses her daily struggles with PBA. She emphasizes the challenges of managing the condition, even though laughter is typically a positive emotion.
The renowned actress boasts an impressive filmography, including blockbusters like the “Baahubali” franchise, “Arundhati,” and “Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty” (currently streaming on Netflix). Her upcoming project, the Malayalam horror-fantasy film “Kathanar,” is slated for a December 2024 theatrical release.
By speaking openly about PBA, Anushka Shetty raises awareness about this little-known condition. Hopefully, her story will encourage understanding and support for those battling similar neurological disorders.
