Based on real life story of stand-up comedian & actor Kumail Nanjiani, Anupam Kher Starrer ‘The Big Sick’ which is set to release end of this month, has already got conversations going. Nanjiani story of how he decided to marry his now wife Emily Gordon is quite a jaw dropper.
“I hadn’t been thinking about marriage before Emily got sick,” he says. Emily suddenly became gravely ill in the spring of 2007. Doctors placed her in an induced coma as a life-saving measure while they scrambled to figure out what was wrong. “But looking at Emily when she was put into the coma, I thought to myself, ‘If she comes out of this, I’m going to marry her.’ It was more of the type of thing you feel but don’t completely register in all the madness that is going on at the hospital. But there it was.” Says Kumail.
To illustrate his story during his meeting with Apatow and Mendel, Nanjiani brought alongvarious mementos, including his hospital visitor IDs, that he had saved throughout Gordon’sillness.
