About this Episode

In this special episode of Tumor Minutes, Netra shares a deeply personal tribute to her favourite actor of all time and reflects on how his life helped her understand her own epilepsy in a way no article, website, or medical explainer ever could. Instead of focusing on definitions or symptoms, this episode centres on the human side of epilepsy, showing how someone can live a creative, joyful, and meaningful life while quietly managing a neurological condition.

The episode explores his impact as an actor, the way people described him as someone who could light up even the heaviest rooms, and how the conversations sparked after his passing changed public awareness around epilepsy. It also looks at how his legacy lives on through advocacy, education, and youth empowerment, and why stories like his matter so much in shaping empathy, understanding, and support for people living with epilepsy today.
