Hi Prathamesh 👋 I actually went through this exact issue (with a different plant) just the other day!! So I hope it's the same thing and the same cure will work (without being able to touch the plant is hard to know lol 🤣).
So, I have really high humidity in my flat, which is why Tropicals love me! Lol but when you get a combination of high root pressure and high humidity, your plants can Guttate, which means they release excess moisture through their leaves (basically they sweat off the water they don't need as the roots draw it up from the soil).
This can lead to transparent patches on the leaves.
The way I fixed mine was to increase the airflow (there's little I can do about the actual humidity because it's environmental, not caused by humidifiers!) and increase the amount of light she was getting (I moved her from a NW to a SE facing window, but still out of direct sunlight except the very early morning) and AMAZINGLY within a day the transparency was gone! 🥰 It shows up more on pale and variegated plants apparently... My wee girl is a Tradescantia Tricolour.
So maybe try giving her a boost of light and either crack a window nearby or get a wee fan to increase airflow. She should bounce right back 🥰 xx
