Baahubali: The Conclusion is riding high on its box-office success. But the stars of the film did not always have it easy.

Rana Daggubati, who plays the role of Bhallala Deva, shared his story in an old video that is going viral. In the video, Rana admits that he cannot see from one eye. The actor is seen giving a pep talk to a woman who also has a problem with her eyesight.

Should I tell you one thing? I am blind in 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 on me when I was young. Study well, we will support, be courageous as you have to look after her. Sorrows will go away one day but you have to gear up and keep them happy always.
