Overview
- A paparazzi video showing her leaving a clinic with an eye patch spurred concern and widespread coverage.
- Tamboli identified the condition as chalazion, a blocked oil gland in the eyelid often mistaken for a stye and not resolving in her case with warm compresses.
- She said the problem resurfaced around August 2025 and worsened during MasterChef work that kept her in makeup for nearly 12 hours a day over several months.
- Her doctor advised cleansing with cold water, avoiding oil-based products near the eyes, and resting, adding that the issue should not recur.
- Tamboli reported feeling better, posted an Instagram note saying “All is well,” and said partner Arbaaz Khan is helping with care as her mother travels to join her.
