A few seconds into the video, Gurucharan also revealed that his health had deteriorated significantly, saying, "Haalat bahot zyada kharab ho gayi hai (The situation has gotten very bad)."

The video and Gurucharan's current health update have left the actor's fans worried. To understand what exactly has happened to Gurucharan Singh, we spoke to experts. Dr Medha Chouwdhury, Kolkata, Max Hospitals, said, "When you stop eating or drinking for over two weeks, your body experiences severe changes as it shifts into survival mode. Initially, it uses glycogen stores in the liver and muscles for energy, leading to rapid water loss and dehydration. As glycogen depletes, the body enters ketosis, breaking down fat to produce energy. Simultaneously, it begins to break down muscle tissue for essential proteins. Prolonged dehydration causes organ failure, including kidney and heart damage. Without intervention, this extreme state results in irreversible organ failure and death".
