Senior actress Sadia Imam has revealed that she was afraid of water, but managed to overcome this fear with the help of an expert trainer.
When asked by the host on a morning show, Sadia Imam said that she was afraid of going into the sea. She explained that when people planned to go to the beach, she would avoid attending due to her fear of water despite being invited.
Sadia Imam further said that during her career, she also avoided playing scenes related to the sea in films or dramas. She said, “Whenever there was a scene in which she had to go near water, I would cut it, I felt like the earth was slipping from under me by putting my feet in the water.”
While her daughter Merab was learning to swim, Sadia Imam also got an invitation to go into the water but she was so scared that she was not ready to even put her feet in the water. However, with the help of an expert trainer, she was able to overcome this fear and now she is going into the water with her daughter.
She added that even during the shooting, she used to clearly tell the directors that I would not step where the sand in the water would touch my feet.
Explaining a specific reason for her fear, Sadia Imam said that once a jellyfish stuck to my foot in the sea, it was a very unpleasant experience, which increased my fear further and after that I always tried to stay away from the sea.
