"I'm almost ninety percent blind without my glasses. I can't see something that is two cms away from me," the 24-year-old posted on her Twitter page. "Usually I never wish people because I don't see them… and then of course the apologies and the sorrys and the how are yous flow freely," she added.

Shruti, daughter of veteran actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika, had a bad day Wednesday thanks to her weak eyesight.

"Yesterday I wished the wrong person! Also walked into a glass door! Everything was a massive blur…not a nice feeling at all!! Long live contacts and glasses," she posted.

Shruti, who is also a singer, made her Bollywood debut with Luck opposite Imran Khan, and will be seen next in Madhur Bhandarkar's Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji. She is also working on a Tamil project.
