Actor Sumeet Sachdev, known for Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, describes a near-death experience after choking on food at a restaurant. Sachdev says he was dining with his wife and brother when the food got stuck and he struggled to breathe. He credits his brother’s immediate efforts—repeatedly hitting him on the back—with helping him regain the ability to breathe, and says the restaurant owner also stepped in to assist.
After the incident, Sachdev shared the episode with his co-stars. According to his account, they responded with jokes and asked whether someone recorded the moment for social media. He later reflected on how such reactions point to a viral-moment culture, while he emphasized that the experience was scary and prompted him to urge people to eat carefully. Both reports present his message that following basic advice such as taking small bites can help prevent similar incidents. The accounts also note his ongoing role in the show’s reboot, marking the return of other cast members.
