In a series of Instagram stories, Shahid Kapoor's co-star shared screenshots explaining the meaning of the disorder. Alongside she also wrote, "Yes, I have been diagnosed with prosopagnosia. Now I understand why I have never been able to put faces together. It's a cognitive disorder. I always feel ashamed. I cannot recognize faces. I recognize- Voices "
