Wit in the OT
The second slide offered a glimpse into her time in the operation theatre. As tools were being prepped, her anesthesiologist asked her what song she’d like before going under. Looking at the surgical tools, the only tune playing in her head was the intense Chakku Chhuriyan Tez Kara Lo from Zanjeer, showcasing her signature humor even in a serious moment.
Post-Surgery Revelations
In the third slide, Tahira shared a light-hearted moment post-surgery, where she met a spirited 70-year-old patient listening to gossip about an actor’s love life.
