Jasmine Bhasin faced concerns from fans over her latest Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 stunt. It’s not just the hazardous stunt itself that has viewers worried but also what happened after. CCTV footage from the show shows Jasmine performing a gruelling water stunt, only to then appear confused and disoriented afterward. Reports said that Jasmine suffered from temporary memory loss after performing the stunt and asked crew members what she had just done and why she was there.
Fans are already talking about the incident because temporary memory loss can look scary. However, the reports circulating so far do not confirm a diagnosis nor clearly describe what caused Jasmine to suffer from sudden memory loss.
What Happened to Jasmine Bhasin?
Jasmine appears in the promo walking through a tunnel. After reaching the end of the tunnel, she’s shoved into the water to perform the stunt. Later on after finishing the stunt, she tells a crew member that she has no idea what happened and cannot remember. Fans are rightfully concerned about how an extreme water stunt may have led to Jasmine having temporary memory loss.
What we are seeing in the reports are not necessarily the same thing doctors would use to diagnose Jasmine with a medical condition. Temporary memory loss is a symptom that can occur because of a variety of reasons. Without more information from Jasmine or her doctors, we can only speculate as to the cause of her sudden confusion.
What Is Temporary Memory Loss?
Put simply, temporary memory loss is a loss of memory over a certain period of time. Someone experiencing memory loss may forget information, past events, or both. One condition that doctors may consider if someone experiences a sudden, temporary lapse in memory is transient global amnesia.
Transient global amnesia, also called TGA, occurs when a person suddenly begins to forget new information. They may ask questions over and over and struggle to remember new things but will typically remain awake and know who they are and who others around them are. Episodes of TGA usually resolve in under 10 hours, but there are rare cases where someone experienced symptoms for close to 24 hours.
Can Water Stunts Cause Temporary Memory Loss?
Believe it or not, dunking yourself suddenly in cold or hot water are some of the triggers that have been reported with transient global amnesia. Strenuous exercise and emotional distress and pain have also been reported.
Of course, not every case of someone experiencing memory loss after a water stunt is going to be TGA. Traumatic brain injury (or concussion), low oxygen, dehydration, seizures, and many other neurological problems can all cause temporary confusion or loss of memory.
Should You Be Concerned About Temporary Memory Loss?
Just because something is temporary does not mean that it will not have serious or lasting effects. Anyone experiencing sudden memory loss that cannot be attributed to a specific cause (like drinking too much at a party) should be checked by a doctor as soon as possible.
Sudden memory loss can sometimes be attributed to very serious causes, including stroke, seizures, head trauma, or other neurological diseases. Until a medical professional has had a chance to evaluate someone, it is impossible to know for sure what is causing their symptoms.
Jasmine has not publicly addressed the full details of her medical state following the stunt. However, her experience on Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 should serve as a reminder that intense stunts can take a serious toll on the body. If you experience unusual or severe symptoms after performing a stunt, seek medical attention.
