Reality TV star Dewangini, known for her appearance on Splitsvilla 15 , opened up in an emotional conversation with Rushali and Harsh on their podcast about her harrowing health experience with epilepsy and the devastating consequences of a misdiagnosis.



Recounting a traumatic period in her life, she said, “In 2015-16 I got an epileptic fit . It is a neurological disorder . And then I got treated wrongly. The medicines were wrong and I had big blisters all over my body from head to toe. I could eat, sleep, sit anything. I couldn’t even see properly. In neurological problem, you keep forgetting people. It was very tough time. I was in ICU for 15 days. I couldn’t eat anything for that period.”



Dewangini shared that she spent 15 days in the ICU, unable to consume any food. “On the 16th day, my father came to me and said, emotionally, that doctors had advised I eat something—otherwise, I’d die. For 16 days, nothing was inside my body. For 6 months, I got wrong treatment. The side that had to be treated wasn’t the one they were focusing on. I was not getting better. I changed my doctor who told me about my incorrect treatment. Then I got treated properly and nothing major happened after 2017. But in Splitsvilla it got triggered during the bonfire day. You don’t get much sleep and I had a lot of anxiety.”



Her longtime boyfriend, Divyansh stated that he never saw her having an epileptic fit until 2024, when Splitsvilla shoot happened.



Dewangini said, “I never wanted to come in front of Divyansh because I didn’t want to show my side. But my mom said that you don’t find a person who would accept you with all your realities.”
