In a recent interview with People, Kumail Nanjiani and wife Emily V. Gordon opened up about what it is like to be in the immunocompromised community during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The couple, whose real-life love story was portrayed in The Big Sick, says they have to consider risk “every time” they do something due to her illness.
The 43-year-old producer, who has both adult-onset Still’s Disease and common variable immunodeficiency, explained, “Essentially my body does not make the things that helped me fight off illness.”
