It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge diseases in public, especially for celebrities, who are prone to be judged for their choices.
Notable director Shekhar Kapur revealed in a tweet that he suffers from ‘dyslexia’. He tweeted on Monday, “Lessons of Life: I’m completely dyslexic. And finding more and more artists poets musicians suffer from dyslexia too. Are you? With #AI (Artificial Intelligence) I’ve developed a love for visual mathematics, but in school developed a hatred for Maths…ofcourse ! With #dyslexia numbers made little sense.”
Shekhar’s tweet created a stir among netizens. Many people expressed their views on his post. “I am dyslexic, developed love for business math because it had a goal. Traditional maths still gives me nightmare,” wrote a Twitterati. Another person wrote, “Kudos for awareness and converting into Unfathomable creativity with rare sensitivity!”
