Malayalam actor-anchor Mithun Ramesh diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy

Malayalam actor-television host-radio jockey Mithun Ramesh has been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, a condition that causes a temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles in the face. The ‘Vettam’ actor has been admitted to a private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Mithun Ramesh himself shared the news on social media, after getting admitted to the hospital.

In the video, he said, “For the past few days, I have been travelling. I don’t know if you are able to see it. But I have been slightly affected by Bell’s Palsy. It is a disease that Justin Bieber was earlier diagnosed with. You can’t move one side of your face while smiling. Also, one eye automatically shuts down. You need to forcefully close the other eye, though it is difficult to close both eyes together. One side of my face seems to have been partially paralyzed. I have been told that this disease will be cured. I have been admitted at Ananthapuri Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram.”

Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes a temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles in the face. A neurological disorder, Bell’s Palsy occurs when the nerves controlling the facial muscles get inflamed, swollen, or compressed. It causes the drooping of eyebrows and mouth on one side, and difficulty in closing eyelids. The condition is temporary, and symptoms usually go away within a few weeks or months.

A popular actor and television show host, Mithun Ramesh is also a radio jockey based in Dubai.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that a while ago, actor Beena Antony’s husband Manoj was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy.
