India’s versatile actor Manoj Joshi has revealed that he lost his eyesight during the shooting of the film Devdas.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2002 blockbuster film Devdas starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, while Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai also starred.
In the film, Manoj Joshi played the role of Devdas’ father, Devija Mukherjee.
During his recent interview on YouTube, Manoj Joshi said that during the shooting of Devdas, my health worsened, after which I was lying in a hospital bed for one and a half years.
They said that I was in a coma for four days, my vision was gone and I was unable to see anything for about 19 days.
He said that on this occasion my bank account had become zero, but in such a situation my wife earned money by teaching tuition and got me treated.
It should be noted that Manoj Joshi returned to the entertainment industry with the drama serial Kaheta Hai Dil Se and the role of ‘Kachra Seth’ in the film Phir Herapheri released in 2006 made him a distinct identity in the film world.
