Ranbir Kapoor Apologizes for Sunglasses After Revealing Eye Infection at Delhi Trailer Event

At a star‑studded launch of the new mythological epic Ramayana in New Delhi on Friday, lead actor Ranbir Kapoor arrived in a sleek outfit topped with dark sunglasses. The accessory sparked a flurry of social‑media chatter when the actor later disclosed he was battling conjunctivitis, a highly contagious eye infection.

In a brief statement posted on his verified Instagram account, Kapoor expressed regret for any discomfort his appearance may have caused, saying, “My eyes are not well; I’m sorry if my sunglasses caused any inconvenience.” The clarification came after fans and health officials raised concerns about the potential spread of infection at a crowded public event.

The trailer launch, which drew Bollywood’s elite and a sizeable diaspora press contingent, remains a key promotional moment for a film that re‑imagines the classic Indian saga for a global audience. Kapoor’s openness about his condition underscores the growing awareness among Indian celebrities about public‑health responsibilities, a point that resonates with South‑Asian communities worldwide who closely follow both the entertainment and health narratives of their icons.
