Feroze Khan suffers side effects of using ointment to induce tears for sad scenes

Web Desk) – Actor Feroze Khan has revealed that he is suffering from serious eye problems after repeatedly using ointment (Vicks) to induce tears during emotional scenes.

In a recent statement, Feroze explained that his prolonged use of the mentholated ointment has left him extremely sensitive to light, a condition known as photophobia. He admitted to regularly applying Vicks near his eyes on set to quickly trigger tears for dramatic performances.

"I’ve ruined my eyes by constantly applying Vicks to produce tears while acting,” Feroze shared. “Now, even a little bit of light feels like a knife in my eyes.”

His revelation sparked concern among fans and industry peers. While many praised his dedication to his craft, they also urged him and other actors to prioritise their health on set. Several supporters advised immediate consultation with eye specialists and recommended protective steps such as wearing sunglasses and limiting screen time during recovery.

One fan commented: “No role is worth losing your eyesight. Please stop and focus on recovery before it’s too late.”

Another wrote: “Your health matters more than any scene. Take care of yourself and get proper treatment immediately.”

A concerned follower added: “I hope other actors learn from this and never put their bodies at such risk for a performance.”

Many are now calling for safer, industry-standard alternatives to be introduced for filming emotionally demanding scenes.

Feroze Khan is currently starring in the drama serial Humraaz, alongside Ayeza Khan and Zahid Ahmed. Despite his health concerns, his performance continues to receive praise for its emotional depth and authenticity.

For now, Feroze remains active in Humraaz, but his confession has shed light on the often overlooked physical toll that acting can take behind the scenes.
