Tahira Kashyap Khurrana shares her experience of food poisoning, from persistent vomiting to being admitted to the ICU, in an effort to create awareness about the toxicity of bottle gourd. Ayushmann Khurrana’s writer and filmmaker wife took to social media to share her distress due to carelessness and ignorance about bitter gourd.

In one of the reel, Tahira records her ordeal saying that if one is not aware then one can be told about the serious harm caused by a regular food product. She said, “Please listen to this! @Instagram is an amazing platform to spread awareness! Please read about gourd poisoning! I looked cool and calm all the way through in this video I made from my set, but I’m deep down.” # was in %!

“Sharing the deets as doctors also asked me to spread awareness. I chose my phone for everyone I know who have #greenjuice. Gourd poisoning has serious consequences, and serious is an understatement. Please read between the lines. It’s fatal. Don’t just keep bursting juices in the name of health!
