Apart from this, the actor even took a trip down the memory lane and recapitulated all the old faded memories of how his mother, Teji Bachchan would cure him if he ever got hurt in the eyes.

The 'Piku' star then explained how after consulting his doctor, he got reassured that probably he is not getting blind and its the result of the extra screen which is straining his eyes. He tried the new age remedy like a hot water hand towel and placed it on the eyes. He consulted an eye specialist and followed his instructions of putting in prescribed eye drops every hour which reassured him that he is not getting blind anymore.
