She needs to keep her body well-nourished, especially her palms and feet. Even though she’s not fond of applying lotions, she has to use them regularly to prevent ulcers or peeling skin in those areas. The Sasural Simar Ka actress also shared that her doctors mentioned she’s fortunate the weather isn’t too sunny right now — otherwise, she would have been asked to wear gloves to protect her hands. Following medical advice, she’s currently wearing socks at all times. (Dipika Kakar Vlog)
