While shooting in Mumbai, Deepika Singh experienced an unexpected eye injury that turned into a serious concern.
In the midst of the intense heat wave sweeping across the country, actress Deepika Singh faced a sudden health scare on the set of her TV show “Mangal Lakshmi.” While shooting in Mumbai, Deepika Singh experienced an unexpected eye injury that turned into a serious concern.
The incident occurred during a regular shooting day when Deepika felt a strange irritation in her right eye. Her co-star quickly noticed something unusual – a red blood clot forming in her eye. Acting promptly, Deepika sought medical help. “Within half an hour, I rushed for a doctor consultation and was put on medication – ointments and eye drops – immediately,” she shared.
The diagnosis was clear: Deepika had hurt her eye, and it would take five days to heal completely. The doctor’s advice was straightforward – avoid straining her eyes and refrain from using glycerine or any other eye products. This posed a significant challenge for Singh, especially given the nature of her role in “Mangal Lakshmi.”
The 34-year-old actress elaborated on the difficulty of continuing her work under these conditions. “I have a lot of crying scenes and as an actor, your eyes are your biggest asset to convey emotions,” she explained.
The clot in her right eye made it particularly hard to perform these scenes. To cope, the production team adjusted their shooting strategy. “The clot is in my right eye, so we are making sure to take most of my shots from the left profile in this unavoidable situation. It’s hampering the shoot, but the show must go on,” Singh said.
Despite the setback, Deepika‘s dedication to her craft remains unwavering. She continues to film, showcasing her resilience and commitment. The incident highlights not just the physical demands placed on actors but also their ability to adapt and persevere through unexpected challenges.
Deepika‘s experience also sheds light on the broader issue of working conditions, especially during extreme weather. The scorching heat in Mumbai has been particularly harsh, and Singh’s injury serves as a reminder of the importance of health and safety measures on set.
As fans of “Mangal Lakshmi” await the upcoming episodes, Deepika‘s determination ensures that the quality of the show remains unaffected. Her story is not just about an unfortunate injury but also about the spirit of professionalism and the challenges faced behind the scenes in the world of television.
