Actress Sneha Ullal first appeared on the silver screen opposite Salman Khan in the film Lucky: No Time For Love (2005). However, she has been away from the limelight and hasn't acted in any film since past 4 years. Recently, in one of her interviews, Sneha revealed what kept her away from doing films and about her next venture.
As per reports, the actress revealed that she was suffering from a blood-related illness called autoimmune disorder which made her body very weak. She added that she wasn't even able to stand up on her feet for more than 30 minutes. This was the main reason behind her break from films.
In conversation with a leading daily, Sneha was quoted saying, "I was diagnosed with an ‘autoimmune disorder’. It’s a blood-related illness where my own immune system kept me unwell. So my body would become so weak that I would not be able to stand on my feet for more than 30 to 40 minutes and because I kept shooting for films even with this illness, it got worse. Beyond a point, I didn’t have the strength to do what an actress is expected to do - running around, dancing and continuous shooting etc. That’s when I had to stop and start my medication, because, there was no point in doing films and then falling sick every other day."
She said that she has undergone the procedure of medication and finally, after recovering, she is now back to the movies. Talking about her comeback, Sneha clarifies that it’s not a ‘comeback’ at all. "I think a comeback is when you intentionally leave the industry and try to make a return. But I never left the industry; it’s just that I wasn’t doing films due to severe health issues."
The actress is now working on a Telugu film titled Ayushman Bhava which has Amala Paul playing the lead role. Sneha will play a dual role in the film which is being directed by Charan Tej.
