She underwent multiple reconstructive surgeries to be able to bring her sight in working order. In October 2015, she made an appearance on stage with a patch in her eye and her arm in a sling to respect the love and support of her fans. She also revealed on the same show that she doesn’t want to do anything else and will make a back sooner or later

On 16th October 2015, she underwent reconstructive surgery to repair her damaged skull and sight and appealed for love and support.
