Shenaz Treasury, known for playing Alisha in Ishq Vishk (2003), has opened up about being diagnosed with a condition called prosopagnosia. On Instagram, the actress revealed that she faces difficulty in remembering peoples' faces but can identify them by their voices. 

In the first slide of her Instagram stories, Shenaz wrote, "I have been diagnosed with prosopagnosia. Now, I understand why I've never been able to put faces together. It's a cognitive disorder. I always felt ashamed that I can't recognise faces. I recognise voices."

The actress further added, "Signs and symptoms of face blindness/prosopagnosia. 1. You have failed to recognise a close friend or family member, especially when you weren't expecting to see them. Yes, that is me. Takes me a minute to register who the person is. Sometimes even a close friend I haven't seen in a while."

Shenaz then shared, "You have difficulty recognising neighbours, friends, coworkers, clients, schoolmates. People you know expect you to recognise them. Failing to recognise someone might make you seem aloof. Many sufferers report losing friends and offending coworkers because they have failed to recognise them. This is me."

She said, "So you confuse characters in movies or on television more so than other people? Yes, I do. I can't tell the difference if two characters have the same height and build and hairstyle." Calling it a "real brain issue", Shenaz concluded by saying, "So now please understand that this is a real disorder and not me being aloof or snobbish."
