Last year, in an interview, Anushka surprised everyone when she talked about her rare condition. She said that when something funny happens and she starts laughing, she can't stop herself. Sometimes she ends up smiling and laughing continuously for 15 to 20 minutes! 

She even mentioned a funny incident during filming where she had to pause because of her uncontrollable laughter. Further, the Arundhati star added that the cast and crew will use her laugh time to take breaks and have their snacks and tea and later thank her for it.

As per a report in Indiaglitz, the actress said, “When watching or shooting for comedy scenes, I will literally roll on the floor laughing and the shooting has been halted many times."

However, this is not the first time that an actor has come out in public to discuss her health issues. Samantha Ruth Prabhu had also hit the headlines after she revealed her diagnosis of Myositis, an autoimmune condition that affects the muscles. Taking to her official Instagram account, Samantha posted a picture of herself as she sat on a couch with an IV drip connected to her wrist.
