welcome..
you have a pic to show us ?
what kind of chilis are you growing?
are they in pots?
outdoors?
Aphids or bugs is my guess, check really carefully especially on the underside of the leaves. Wipe a damp tissue over it and see if anything comes off as the tiny ones are hard to see.

I dont remember the name of the plant gt it frm bnq.
Is there anything i need to do because there are more leaves like this and it is spreading throughout the plants.
Thanks for your responses:)

its nearly the end of the chili growing season, its nearly September, so its normal to get leaf colour change at this time . have you picked of any of the fruit ?
when the temps get cooler they dont grow as well and it all slows down.. So its best if you harvest your crop very soon...
