And recently, Miss International 2013 shared and revealed that she was diagnosed with having a CKD or Chronic Kidney Disease.

As featured on her Instagram story, the people got alarmed and shocked over her revelation.

“Yes, I’m sick. I damaged my kidneys when I was younger. My kidneys are more sensitive than a normal late 20s healthy woman. I can’t overdo things, and I just found out. Came to the hospital for my severe migraines and we found out something potentially more dangerous. I’m thankful but at the same time really scared,” she said.
