It is reported that 5 years ago, Diganth was shooting abroad for a film. During a scene where his co-star had to enact throwing something on his face, the scene turned out to be an accident, making him lose sight in one eye forever.

Diganth claimed in the letter that after the incident he went into depression and started consuming drugs to fight depression.
Diganth stated “I had very few films offered after the incident, I went into depression because of that. I started consuming cocaine to forget my pain and sorrow. I have now told whatever I know, you (CCB sleuths) can decide what to do next”.
Meanwhile, Diganth has decided to get back to work from Friday, September 17, resuming the shoot of ‘Marigold’ and Yograj Bhatt’s ‘Gaalipata-2’ amidst the CCB enquiry.
