Music director-composer Amaal Mallik, who is currently seen as a contestant in the 19th edition of “Bigg Boss”, opened up about his sleep apnea and also offered a music video to his fellow contestant Nehal Chudasama, a former beauty queen.
Talking about his sleep issues, Amaal said: “I developed bronchitis and sinus problems, so I was unable to breathe properly.” He said it was his mother, who observed his breathing while he slept. “My mother observed that I sometimes stop breathing for almost 20 seconds in 15 minutes.
It turns out I have sleep apnea,” said the music composer. Sleep apnea is a serious sleep-related breathing disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to poor oxygen levels and sleep disruption.
In the previous episode, Amaal was seen using a BiPAP machine during the night time to support undisturbed sleep. The BiPap is a non-invasive ventilation device that uses two different levels of air pressure.
He was also seen talking about making a music video featuring Nehal. Offering Nehal a music video, he said: “Tum Karogi music video?” Accepting the offer, Nehal shared, “I would love to, agar vibe match hui to, why not? It feels exciting to try something new, and I am always open to projects where the energy and vibe feel right.”
