In a tragic coincidence, Shefali Jariwala – known as the “Kaanta Laga” girl and a reality TV star – passed away last week, reportedly after taking glutathione injection while fasting. However, the post-mortem report is awaited.
Now, a Mumbai woman has come forward with serious allegations of medical negligence against a cosmetic clinic administering glutathione drips – an increasingly popular but unregulated treatment marketed as a skin lightening and detox therapy.
Speaking exclusively to NDTV, 40-year-old Maggie says she is still reeling from the physical and mental trauma of the treatments, nearly a year later.
“After the first session, my cough and cold got aggravated. I kept calling the clinic and messaging the doctors, but there was no response. I didn’t know what was happening to my body,” she recalls.
Despite her symptoms, she continued with the second and third sessions, attributing her illness to weather changes and pollution. She even underwent a PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) facial treatment at the clinic, which she describes as “badly done”, alleging that the plasma was injected late, leading to scars on her face.
