When Sushmita Sen opened up about overcoming a major health crisis: ‘I was declared steroid-dependent for life'
Sushmita Sen has always been an inspirational role model. The Main Hoon Na actor once opened up about battling a major health crisis in 2014 and eventually emerging victorious. 'I was told by all the doctors possible that I had to change my profession. I said, No, I won't give it up. I am going to do it as much as I can and be done when I am done. There is a hormone in the body called cortisol. My adrenal glands had stopped producing it. I had gone into an adrenal crisis. I was declared steroid-dependent for life, which means that I had to take a medicine called Hydrocortisone, which is a steroid, every eight hours to stay alive,' Sen told Rajeev Masand in 2019. That's when she decided to take matters into her own hands. 'I thought I would go down fighting. I am not going down as a patient. The doctor said not to do any anti-gravity movements. The first thing I did was call my trainer and say, we start gymnastics. We get on anti-gravity because if they are telling me that it is the only thing that I am not going to do, I am going to do it. I don't like who I am becoming in the attempt to survive. This is not the best advice for people suffering from certain conditions. It's who my body needed to be. It's different when you listen to your body. It's different,' expressed Sen. Adding that she 'went through detoxing,' the former Miss Universe said: 'I went through everything possible that you can think of medically, but I introduced aerial circuit, anti-gravity, and I went back to yoga.' Following a collapsing episode, Sen recalled that the treating doctor apprised her of her miraculous recovery. 'When I collapsed, I was rushed to Abu Dhabi, and then they discharged me from there to go back to Dubai. I was driving down when the Turkish doctor called up and said, Don't take the pill. Your body is producing the hormone now. He said that in 35 years of his practice, somebody with an adrenal failure has never come back to producing cortisol again. He said, I cannot believe I have tested it three times. Needless to say, I was stunned. I waited for the moment to hear these very words,' Sen recalled. Taking a cue from her candid confession, let's understand all about this cortisol hormone and how adrenal failure is a genuine concern. Dr Manisha Arora, director of internal medicine at CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, said that the hormonal issue being referred to here is Addison's disease, a rare endocrine disorder caused by damage to the adrenal glands. 'These glands are responsible for producing important hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol, in particular, plays a crucial role in regulating several vital body functions, including the stress response, blood sugar regulation, fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism, inflammation control, and immune system function. When the adrenal glands are impaired, they produce insufficient amounts of cortisol, leading to a condition known as Addison's crisis, which can be life-threatening if not managed promptly,' said Dr Arora. When the adrenal glands fail to produce adequate cortisol, the body cannot cope with stress, whether physical, emotional, or related to illness. 'This results in persistent fatigue, weakness, weight loss, muscle wasting, and low blood pressure (hypotension),' said Dr Arora. The root cause could be an autoimmune reaction, infections such as tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS, or other rare conditions like sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis, or even damage from surgery or cancer metastasis, she said. 'Since the body can no longer produce cortisol on its own, patients with Addison's disease must rely on lifelong steroid replacement therapy, typically in the form of hydrocortisone. This replacement is essential for survival and daily functioning, and dosage must be adjusted under medical supervision during illnesses or stressful events,' said Dr Arora. While Addison's disease requires lifelong medical management, Dr Arora said natural regulation of cortisol production is possible in individuals with normally functioning adrenal glands. 'Practices such as maintaining a balanced diet, regular physical activity, ensuring proper sleep hygiene, and managing stress through meditation and yoga can help maintain healthy cortisol rhythms,' said Dr Arora. However, Dr Arora contended that these natural methods cannot replace cortisol in individuals with Addison's disease whose adrenal glands are no longer functional. 'In such cases, only medically prescribed steroid therapy can fulfill the body's hormonal needs,' said Dr Arora. Dr Arora reiterated that it's essential to understand that Addison's disease is a serious medical condition requiring lifelong physician-guided management. While adopting a healthy lifestyle is beneficial for everyone, it cannot replace prescribed steroid therapy in people with adrenal insufficiency, she said. 'Misconceptions that stress management techniques or natural remedies alone can control this condition are dangerous. Patients must remain under the care of a healthcare provider who can identify the root cause of adrenal damage, whether it be autoimmune, infectious, or cancerous, and guide them through the correct treatment protocol, including emergency dose adjustments when needed,' said Dr Arora.

Fans not happy about Addison Rae's venues for Aus tour
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music Tours. Followed categories will be added to My News. Addison Rae fans have been left frustrated by the American pop star's small venues for her Australian tour. Disgruntled punters complained they were stuck in queues of more than 50,000 people vying to buy the 2000 to 2500 tickets available for each of her six shows. The TikTok queen's debut album Addison debuted at No. 2 on the ARIA charts and despite her enormous popularity here, she has booked theatres rather than arenas for her November tour. It is most likely she couldn't secure the bigger venues which have capacity of about 5000 people such as Sydney's Hordern Pavilion, which hosted the first big gigs by Tate Macrae and Gracie Abrams, as November is the peak touring month in Australia. Addison Rae debuted at No. 2 with her debut record. Picture: Getty. Huge demand during the pre-sales for the Addison tour, her debut global headlining run, prompted Frontier Touring to add second shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. '52k in queue for sydney, idk where everyone came from omg,' noted on fan on the Frontier Touring Instagram channel during the pre-sale on Thursday. A Melbourne punter said The Forum venue, which has a standing room capacity of 2000 people, was too small considering the size of her fanbase in Australia. Rae, who has more than 88 million followers on TikTok, with over 5.8 billion likes, has exploded on the global pop charts over the past year courtesy of co-starring on the Charli XCX track Von Dutch and her own breakout hit Diet Pepsi. 'I'm not sure what genius decided The Forum was the best venue. Probably could fill Rod Laver Arena more than once. Easy,' he wrote. Rae blew up on TikTok before launching her pop career. Picture: Getty. Several ticket buyers also complained that the venues in Melbourne and Brisbane restricted tickets to punters over 18 years, shutting out her younger fans. Only Sydney's Enmore Theatre shows are open to all ages. 'A bigger venue that is not 18+ would be appreciated,' wrote one fan. There was an interesting difference in the ticket pricing for the Melbourne and Brisbane shows compared with Sydney for the tour. General admission tickets for the Melbourne gigs and two concerts at Brisbane's Fortitude Music are $99, while Sydney fans can choose between standing for $99 or a seat for $149. Rae heads to Australia on tour in November. Picture: Supplied 'Why am I paying $50 more to sit up the back?' opined an Addison diehard. The virtual queues are predicted to be even more hectic on Friday when general tickets go on sale from 10am (local time). Rae performs at the Forum in Melbourne on November 11 and 12 (Ticketek), Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall (Ticketmaster) on November 14 and 15 and Sydney's Enmore Theatre (Ticketek) on November 17 and 18.

TikTok superstar Addison Rae reveals Australian tour details
Hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed debut album, TikTok star turned pop diva Addison Rae will bring her hyper-feminine it-girl hits to Australia in November. The 24-year-old will perform in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney between November 11 and 17 as part of her first-ever world tour – The Addison Tour – which will also see her travel across North America and Europe before the end of the year. The pop star will perform tracks from her debut album Addison, which was released earlier this month and landed at No.4 on the Billboard Top 200 and No.2 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Her music has been widely praised, with critics applauding her ability to nod to pop icons like Madonna and Kylie Minogue, yet still establish her own 'hazy, twilight, cosmopolitan cool' sound. Rae's rapid ascent to pop stardom has been surprising to some given her origins on TikTok. Before releasing her album, she was largely known for posting cute choreographed dance routines on social media – videos that were so well-received, they earned her over 88.5 million TikTok followers. She was also known as Kourtney Kardashian's friend, and even featured in some episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. However, the tides began to turn once she released her EP AR in August 2023, which featured none other than Brat Summer queen Charli XCX. From there, she appeared on stage alongside Charli and Aussie pop prince Troye Sivan, and even featured on one of Charli's tracks (even if you're not a fan of dance-pop, you've still likely heard Rae's piercing scream at the beginning of Von Dutch Remix). This catapulted Rae (who was born in Louisiana, just two hours away from the hometown of Britney Spears) from ring lights to stage lights, and led her to release a string of mega-successful singles like Diet Pepsi and Aquamarine, the former of which became her first song to hit the Billboard Hot 100. Since releasing her album on June 6, Rae has been described as the 'new pop powerhouse' and 'pop music's newest it girl'. No stranger to the camera, she has also performed several times on-screen, including in Netflix's He's All That and Eli Roth's horror film Thanksgiving, which also starred Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy). She was also recently cast in the R-rated live-action hybrid Animal Friends opposite A-list actors like Ryan Reynolds, Jason Momoa, Dan Levy and Aubrey Plaza.
