While most lighthearted comedies highlight a romantic tale that must be made up in a Hollywood composing room, 2017’s Oscar-selected The Big Sick depended on a genuine couple. Our new Men’s Health spread star, Kumail Nanjiani, and spouse Emily V. Gordon co-composed the screenplay about their genuine romantic tale, and Nanjiani likewise stars as himself in the film.
The Big Sick aided drove Nanjiani’s profession into overdrive, and this year, fans can see him in The Lovebirds, Little America, and The Eternals.
As indicated by a 2017 New Yorker profile, Nanjiani was doing standup at a bar in Chicago when he was delicately bothered by Gordon, at that point an outsider. They ran into one another two evenings later and began messaging one another, and in the long run, had an on-and-off sentimental circumstance that didn’t change into an out and out relationship for some reasons. Gordon had just been hitched and separated, and Nanjiani dreaded to disillusion his folks, who anticipated that he should wed a Pakistani Muslim lady:
“My American friends would be, like, ‘Dude, just tell your parents you’re not interested.’ But that’s a misunderstanding of the culture,” he told The New Yorker. “I couldn’t imagine a universe where I ended up accepting an arranged marriage, but I also couldn’t imagine telling my parents that. So I just deflected and delayed.”
Still’s disease is an uncommon provocative condition that causes high fevers, rash, and joint agony. And keeping in mind that Still’s can cause dangerous intricacies—for Gordon’s situation, she was admitted to the emergency clinic and put onto a respirator after her manifestations incorporated a temperamental pulse and precarious breathing—it’s additionally reasonable once it’s distinguished and treated.
As Gordon explained to The New Yorker, “I have to sleep the right amount and exercise the right amount, and I still occasionally get flare-ups and have to stay in bed for a few days. But no more I.C.U.s, which is pretty fucking sweet. Now I only have to go to the hospital when we’re filming a movie in one.”

The couple got married just three months after Gordon got out of the hospital, a decision that seemed less shocking at the moment, as Nanjiani explained to The AV Club: “It’s strange when you think back on it. We changed so much about our lives within three months. You don’t think of it as, like, ‘Oh, she almost died, so mortality is real, so we must change our lives.’ You don’t think of it like that. But within three months, we had both quit our jobs, we had married, and we had moved to New York…We cut and ran.”
