The Story of Gary Iskak, Who Hid His Hepatitis C for Two Years, Lost 12 Kilograms!

Kapanlagi.com - Some time ago Gary Iskak underwent intensive treatment in the hospital for eight days. He was previously reported to have passed away, but now the actor is undergoing outpatient treatment for Hepatitis C.

To the media, Gary admitted that he had been experiencing symptoms in his body for two years. However, the husband of Richa Novisha chose to remain silent.

The man who is known for often portraying effeminate characters continued to work diligently, ignoring his fluctuating health condition. Until he finally collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.

"I have been experiencing this disease for two years, I endured it for two years. Finally, I collapsed because I couldn't ignore it anymore, the condition kept fluctuating, I felt nauseous, dizzy, had pain, and also had GERD," said Gary in a recent virtual press conference.

Before being rushed to the hospital, Gary Iskak insisted on going to work despite being reminded to rest. True enough, not long after arriving at the shooting location, he immediately fell unconscious.

"Actually, I was already very tired but I still forced myself to work on the shoot. My wife, my mother, and my in-laws all warned me not to force myself, otherwise it would turn out like this. But I didn't mind, I said bismillah. And then, it happened. Coincidentally, I was accompanying my wife to work, I woke up, fell, and was immediately taken to the hospital," Gary recounted.

Due to his illness, Gary's body appeared to shrink and become thinner compared to before. He admitted that his weight had dramatically dropped by twelve kilograms.

"I lost twelve kilos. From ninety to seventy-eight," concluded the actor who is now focused on his recovery so that he can work as before.

2. Favorite Foods Become Forbidden

During his outpatient treatment, Gary is required to regulate his diet because there are many restrictions on what he can eat. To ensure everything goes smoothly, Richa Novisha, his wife, takes control. If there are foods that he cannot consume, she asks Gary to restrain himself.

"He really has to be controlled when it comes to eating, there are many restrictions, this is not allowed, that is not allowed. Now I just ask him to restrain himself. My task is to hold him back because it's the best for him," said Richa during a Zoom interview some time ago.

The forbidden foods for Gary Iskak turn out to be all his favorites. Therefore, sometimes Richa Novisha feels sorry for her husband who can only watch her eat without being able to enjoy it.

"If we were in his shoes, it would be torture. He used to eat spicy food, now he can't, he used to enjoy delicious food like fried noodles, but now he can't. I also feel bad. If he's eating something spicy, I would say 'Just try a little bit', but I don't allow it. It's actually pitiful, but what can we do," explained Richa.

Considering his health condition, Gary Iskak obediently follows his wife's orders to avoid eating certain foods. He can only watch without daring to eat.

"Sometimes I just want to see what my wife is eating. Well, what can I do? It's better than being hospitalized again," Gary firmly said.
