‘That’s me’: Actor Yogita Bihani says she has thalassemia; expert explains condition
Actor Yogita Bihani revealed she has thalassemia minor during her fiancé Aaryamann Sethi’s YouTube vlog, stating, "That’s me, I have Thalassemia." Dr. Kunal Goyal explained that while thalassemia minor typically does not require treatment and allows individuals to lead normal lives, it poses significant implications for family planning, as both parents being carriers increases the risk of having a child with thalassemia major. Genetic counseling is recommended for couples, particularly in communities with a higher prevalence of the condition.
