Nesh Pillary Rediscovering LOVE

THE MUM-OFTWO'S BRAIN WAS DAMAGED SO BADLY, HER MEMORY WAS RESETTING EVERY MINUTE

- Emma Levett

Imagine waking up from a nap so confused you don’t recognise your long-term partner and don't even remember having a child - then, just after it all sinks in, you immediately forget again. It sounds like a movie but, while Hollywood has long been fascinated by stories of amnesia, this is actually mum-of twos Nesh Pillay’s very real and ongoing experience.

Nesh’s extraordinary life is the subject of Prime Video series 50,000 First Dates: A True Story, which hit the streamer earlier this year. And, somewhat ironically, she shared some of the highlights in an interview with Drew Barrymore, who played a woman with the same disorder in the film 50 First Dates.
