Mumbai: Karan Patel has got a new look in ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’, and while fans are still wondering if it’s a style statement, it isn’t so. The actor is down with an eye infection and has been asked to wear specs during the shoot.

A little birdie reveals, “Karan can’t wear lenses due to the infection and being the protagonist he can’t go missing from the show either, so the actor is continuing shooting with specs now. So this isn’t some new style statement, more of a health compulsion.”
