Hi Tushar. It looks like Magnesium Deficiency and Potassium Deficiency .Click on green links for checking symptoms and taking control measures from Plantix library. Care: Don't do overwatering and direct watering on plant. Even don't allow soil to become water logged. Make a hole below the pot to drain out excessive water from the pot. Apply good amount of Farm Yard manure or Vermicompost once in 6 months to get good growth.

Hi Tushar .Don't do overwatering. Expose plant to sunshine but not sure direct sunlight. Wait for some time for its response.
