To put it simply, I couldn’t even pick up my toothbrush to brush my tired teeth.”

According to Mirnaa Menon, getting medical help was difficult that morning. He said he visited many hospitals but could not find a doctor. Finally, he was able to find a doctor to help him after calling for emergency help.“But at that time there were no doctors in any hospital, we went to four or five hospitals, but we couldn’t find a doctor, finally we came to another hospital and asked the doctor to come in quickly, we waited for him, I thought no one could save me? That’s how I felt,” he said.Finally the doctor injected him and gave him another pill for his symptoms. As an important incident was planned, Mirnaa Menon took more medicine when she went to the scene of the shooting.

Mirnaa Menon explained how the drug affected her while filming. He said his body felt numb and dehydrated. His face seemed swollen, although he felt the change in his posture suited the scene.“That morning, I drank a pill on an empty stomach, then I received an injection, followed by another pill. At that time, my body was almost numb. Even if someone hit me, I would not feel pain. I was dehydrated, and my face was swollen. However, that look worked at the scene, so my appearance was not a problem,” he said.The actress explained that her main concern was her performance. He felt unable to reach the emotions needed in the scene, which made him wonder if he had delivered the expected result.

After this scene, I started to wonder if I did it right,” he recalled.He added, “So, I suggested a third take. Mr. Nelson said it was okay.” I told him that I felt I misunderstood. He assured me that it was okay. I asked him if it was okay, if it was 100 percent okay. He said everything was fine and there was no problem.”Although the director approved of the incident, the incident continued to haunt him.
