Winning Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 wasn't just a title it was the beginning of a journey I will forever cherish. This past year has been nothing short of magical, intense, eye opening, and deeply humbling,' she wrote. The actress also expressed deep appreciation for her supporters. 'I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you those who stood by me, believed in me, supported me, prayed for me, even those who quietly observed from afar or parted ways along the journey. Every presence, every absence, every moment has shaped me.' Reflecting on how life has evolved, Sana added, 'Life truly came full circle: health, wealth, love, lessons it all danced together in perfect chaos. Some bonds deepened, some faded, some broke, and a few beautiful ones were born anew. And through it all, I've only grown stronger, softer, wiser, and more grateful.' Ending her note with a message of positivity, she said, 'Here's to gratitude, growth, grace, and the magic of transformation. Thank you, from the deepest part of my heart. With love and light.' Recently, during her appearance on Bharti Singh's podcast, Sana candidly discussed her health issues, disclosing that she has been undergoing treatment and taking medication for her condition since 2020. Sana revealed, 'I have turned vegan recently for health reasons. A lot of people don't know that I am an autoimmune hepatitis patient. Autoimmune is a condition and I have a liver disease. It was diagnosed in 2020. There are no specific symptoms of my condition. In this, my body's own cells attack the organ. In my case, it is sometimes Lupus, which can affect the kidneys or lead to arthritis. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has myositis, which primarily affects the muscles. For me, it impacts my liver." Sana's journey continues to inspire fans who've followed her from strength to strength since her Bigg Boss win.
