In recent news was late actor Shefali Jariwala, who media claims was self medicating, that could have led to an early cardiac arrest. In a world obsessed with youth and the perfect body, how far are we willing to go to look young, stay ripped, and defy aging? In this conversation with DR. AGNI BOSE, we explore the growing trend of self-medication, steroid abuse, and unregulated hormone treatments, among gym-goers, actors as well as the common man, chasing the illusion of eternal youth. From injectable shortcuts to over-the-counter ‘miracle’ solutions, we uncover the hidden dangers behind this unrealistic quest. Why are so many turning to risky, unsupervised substances? What toll does this take on the body, mind, and long-term health?.GUEST: DR. AGNI BOSE is a Consultant Dermatologist and Cosmetologist, holding an MBBS and MD in Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy. He specializes in clinical dermatology, aesthetic treatments, and skin health restoration, having a face to face interaction with people who are wanting to look younger and fitter at any cost.
