Deepika Singh Shares The Story Behind Her Blood Clot
Deepika Singh narrated the incident “Within half an hour, I rushed for a doctor consultation and was put on medication ,ointments and eye drops, immediately,” The doctor informed her that she had hurt her eye and it would take five days to heal. Singh was advised not to strain her eyes and to avoid using glycerine or any other eye products, making it challenging to perform her scenes. “As an artist, my eyes say so much through crying scenes; so they are very important when I am acting. This is why we have had to take shots from left profile due to this clot on my right eye that has occurred spontaneously but has affected our shooting schedule but we must go on with the show,” Singh clarified.
The star explained that the hot weather played ”the largest” role in causing this injury. “I have never had any problems while working all these years. I was shooting at Madh Island where there was a heat wave all over my body which reacted instantly since then”. “There is a wedding track going on in this show where I am present everywhere and so can’t even take an off”, she added. Due to intense heat, Singh has shifted focus onto liquid meals like coconut water, buttermilk and electrolytes instead of taking tea. “Whenever I am not before the camera I close my eyes; they need more reassurance now, it really opened up my mind,’ she concluded.
On the work front Deepika Singh is keeping busy with her TV serial Mangal Lakshmi.
