Due to the extreme temperatures, Deepika started feeling irritation in her eyes while shooting for the show Mangal Lakshmi. Her co-star noticed a red blood clot in her right eye and informed her. 

Deepika shared that she rushed to consult a doctor within half an hour and was prescribed medications including ointments and eye drops. The doctor informed her that she had injured her eye and would need at least five days to recover. She was advised to avoid straining her eyes or using glycerine or any other eye products during that time.

The Diya Aur Baati Hum actress mentioned that the situation was challenging for her because she had a lot of crying scenes, as an actor, her eyes are her greatest strength when it comes to expressing emotions. The clot is in her right eye so they ensured that most of her shots are taken from the left profile in this unavoidable situation. She added, “It’s hampering the shoot, but the show must go on."
