Here are the exact words of the lady:
“I’d like to take a moment to share some insight into a condition known as prosopagnosia, or face blindness, which affects a person’s ability to recognize faces,” she wrote. “Over time this condition has become more prominent for me and I often do not immediately recognize individuals, even in familiar settings.”
“What was once a joke has evolved into a frustrating experience over the years, and I am sure I am not alone,” Shah noted.

The actor furthered, “If there’s ever an interaction where I don’t recognize you, please understand that it’s due to this condition, not a lack of recognition or care.”
But what actually is prosopagnosia?
As per the description from the National Institute of Health, prosopagnosia is a neurological disorder that can cause people to have difficulty recognizing even family members or friends.
Moreover, the treatment for prosopagnosia involves developing other strategies to recognize people, such as focusing on their voices.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Ushna Shah is currently being seen in the new drama serial ‘Ghair’, co-starring Adeel Hussain and Usama Khan.
On the personal front, Ushna loves to share her life with her fans on social media.
