Senior actor Laila Wasti courageously opened up about her years-long cancer survival journey and recalled when she was told to have only 48 hours of her life.
During a recent outing on a private TV channel’s Ramadan transmission, with veteran actor-director Marina Khan, Laila Wasti looked back at the tough years when she battled cancer, having her complete faith in Allah.
“There is no guarantee to life. It happened a long back when I was left with 48 hours of my life,” began the ‘Sukoon’ actor.
She continued, “On 25th December 2008, I was airlifted to Johns Hopkins in the U.S. and was given the final 48 hours of my life.”
“I was completely healthy. I was visiting the U.S. only for the process of my green card when the doctors informed me about this. I signed the consent forms myself,” Wasti recalled. “At that time, when they told me this, I only said to Allah, ‘Alhamdulillah because I can see, I can hear’. I said, ‘Allah you gave it, and only you will fix it’ and he did.”
