Arjun Kapoor diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: 'I have something...'

Arjun Kapoor recently shocked his fans when he shared that he has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and mentioned that it might be responsible for his weight gain.

While speaking to Hollywood Reporter, he said, "I have something called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. It's an extension of having a thyroid issue. Your antibodies fight against you. It's almost like I can take a flight and gain weight because the body goes into stress. The stress mode is when your antibodies believe something is wrong, and it goes into action. The more relaxed I am, the better I look — which is ironic because, in this profession, you're not really relaxed."

Arjun Kapoor explained that Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is a type of thyroid disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland. This results in chronic inflammation and can cause long-term damage to the gland.
