Rana Daggubati is currently enjoying the success of his maiden web series ‘Rana Naidu’. This family crime drama received mixed talk right from the very beginning but it is getting a lot of views on Netflix. It is even topping in the Top 10 list of most viewed Netflix series in India this weekend. During an interview with Bombay Journey, he talked about his corneal transplant.
He said, “I think I am one of the few guys who spoke about corneal transplant. It was also because there was a kid whose mom had lost her eye and he was very sad in terms of what it is. And I told him its not what it is. Everything has a way of it and that’s when I just told about my eye. I can’t see from my right eye, so I operate in a different view.”
He added, “Many people can get broken because of a physical problem and even it if gets fixed, there is a certain heaviness that will still be there. I had a corneal transplant, I had a kidney transplant so it’s like I am almost the Terminator. So, I was like, ‘come on, I am still surviving and you just have to keep going’.”
Talking about his right eye back in 2016, he stated, “He said, “Should I tell you one thing, I am blind from my right eye. I see only from my left eye. The one you see is someone else’s eye which was donated to me after his death. If I close my left eye, I can see no one. LV Prasad operated me when I was young. Study well, we will support, be courageous as you have to look after your family. Sorrows will go away one day but you have to gear up and keep your family happy always.”
