As part of Naak Mein Dum, Malishka explored the health consequences of Mumbai's deteriorating air quality by connecting with eye specialist Dr. Aakash Jain. While conversations around pollution largely focus on breathing difficulties, lung damage and respiratory illnesses, Malishka brought attention to another vulnerable part of the human body – our eyes. Dr. Aakash Jain explained how exposure to polluted air, dust and harmful particles can affect eye health, leading to irritation, redness, watering, dryness and allergic reactions.
The conversation also addressed how prolonged exposure to poor air quality can aggravate existing eye conditions and why people should not dismiss persistent irritation as just another seasonal problem. Malishka brought out the often-overlooked connection between AQI and eye health, helping listeners understand that pollution does not just affect what we breathe but can also directly impact our vision and everyday comfort. The interaction highlighted the need to take eye-related symptoms seriously and understand the health risks associated with Mumbai's polluted air.
