In February 2012, in an interview to a major English-language newspaper of Pakistan, Talat Hussain revealed that he caught a skin allergy in 2010. This skin allergy developed complications due to wrong treatment by a local cosmetologist. "I couldn't even talk properly, let alone walk or sit after the treatment."[3] His hands trembled and it was difficult for him to hold a teacup or light his cigarette back in 2012.[3]
