Hollywood star Gal Gadot, best known for her role as Gisele Yashar in the Fast & Furious film series is the perfect example of a one-man army as the actress who’s married to real estate developer Jaron Varsano recently revealed a shocking story about her recent pregnancy.
A mother to three daughters, Alma, 13 (2011), Maya, 7 (2017), and Daniella, 3 (2021), Gal Gadot welcomed her fourth child this year. The actress revealed in an interview with USA Today that she was diagnosed with a massive blood clot in her brain during the eighth month of her pregnancy. The Heart of Stone actress also posted about the incident on Instagram.
“For weeks, I had endured excruciating headaches that confined me to bed, until I finally underwent an MRI that revealed the terrifying truth,” Gadot wrote, ending the long and startling post by saying that she hopes to raise awareness and help women who may have faced something similar.
The Wonder Woman actress also opened up about the symptoms of the unexpected blood clot. From enduring excruciating headaches and weakness that made her bedridden to accepting the terrifying truth, she claimed that all she wanted to do was hold on and live.
Gal Gadot further revealed that she was rushed to the hospital immediately and that within hours she underwent an emergency surgery. She remains thankful to God, who passed those dark days of her life like a warrior and thanked the doctors and the team who took such good care of her.
Her daughter Ori (the meaning of the name stood for ‘my light,’) who is today 9 months old was born amidst immense difficulty, and hence her name as Gadot reportedly told her husband that “she would be the light waiting for me at the end of this tunnel,” as per PEOPLE.
