TV host Abri Gilad revealed on his program "Abri and Shariki" that he has been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, a condition causing facial paralysis, which he attributes to excessive gum chewing. Gilad shared that he woke up with half of his face "completely crooked" and has been undergoing medical evaluation and treatment. Despite the visible paralysis on the right side of his face, Gilad decided to continue broadcasting the show.
Gilad explained his decision to continue working, stating, "The face is crooked, but reality is more crooked and we need to deal with it to straighten it out." He addressed his viewers, assuring them he would be on air despite his condition.
TV personality Michal Ansky, who previously suffered from Bell's Palsy affecting the right side of her face, sent a video message of support to Gilad. Ansky described her own experience, admitting she was initially ashamed and took months to show her face publicly. She praised Gilad's bravery and the powerful message he is sending about embracing imperfections.
Ansky humorously suggested they could collaborate on a joint campaign, noting that since Gilad's paralysis is on the left side of his face and hers was on the right, together they would be "complete." "We'll do a joint campaign because together we are whole," she said.
