Paresh Rawal Reveals Drinking His Own Urine To Recover From Knee Injury: ‘Sipped It Like Beer'
Last Updated:
Paresh Rawal revealed that Veeru Devgan suggested him to drink his own urine first thing in the morning to fix his knee injury.
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal recently shared that drinking his own urine helped him recover from a knee injury which he sustained while shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi's Ghatak. He revealed that he injured his leg while shooting for a scene with Rakesh Pandey, post which Tinnu Anand and Danny Denzongpa rushed him to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai. Paresh Rawal said that he was 'petrified' and thought that his career had ended. He then revealed that late action director Veeru Devgan visited him in the hospital and suggested him to consume his own urine to help him heal faster.
While speaking with The Lallantop, Paresh Rawal said, 'Veeru Devgan had come to visit when I was in Nanavati (hospital). When he got to know I was there, he came up to me and asked what happened to me? I told him about my leg injury." He then revealed what Veeru Devgan advised him. 'He told me to drink my own urine first thing in the morning. All fighters do this. You will never face any problem, just drink urine first thing in the morning. He told me not to consume alcohol, which I had stopped, mutton or tobacco. He told me to eat regular food and urine in the morning."
Paresh Rawal thought that if he had to drink urine, he wouldn't just gulp it down. 'I will sip it like a beer because if I have to follow through, I will do so properly. I did for 15 days and when the X-ray reports came in, the doctor was surprised," said Paresh Rawal. The doctor saw a white lining on the X-ray, indicating that it is healed. He shared that while it would have normally taken about 2 to 2.5 months for the injury to heal, he was healed in a month and a half!
On the professional front, Paresh Rawal will next be seen in Priyadarshan's upcoming horror comedy Bhooth Bangla, which also stars Akshay Kumar and Tabu. He also has Hera Pheri 3 in the pipeline, co-starring Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty.

Paresh Rawal back on Hera Pheri 3? Actor reacts to fan asking him to reconsider film exit
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal might be returning to Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty's Hera Pheri 3? While we are not sure yet, Rawal recently gave a positive nod to the speculations. It happened so when a fan asked him to reconsider his exit from the hit franchise. Paresh Rawal created a storm on the internet ever since he announced his exit from Hera Pheri 3. He was also sued by Akshay Kumar who is co-producing the film. In the latest, someone reached out to Paresh Rawal on X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, "Sir please think once again to join HERA FERI movie You are the hero of this movie." Replying to the request, Paresh Rawal wrote, 'NO … There are Three Heroes in Hera Pheri," and added folded hand and red heart emojis. Meanwhile, fans continue to urge Rawal to return to the highly anticipated third installment of the franchise. A user wrote in the comments, 'Paresh sir, I am sure you must be feeling burnt out by babu bhaiya. Its a tough situation for you that no one will understand. But we all genuinely request you to come back. You are truly the soul of this franchise. I hope you find a way (sic).' 'Hi Paresh sir, please join Hera Pheri 3 movie. Without you it won't be possible to make movie sir (sic),' added another. One more commented, 'Paresh sir, your words remind us of the unbeatable Hera Pheri trio! We adore Baburao, Raju, and Shyam as equal heroes. With all respect, could you please consider returning for Hera Pheri 3? Your magic is irreplaceable. Hope a solution is found soon (sic).' Akshay Kumar sent a legal notice to Paresh after he announced his departure from the film. However, Akshay refused to talk about it publicly. At a film event, Akshay schooled those calling Paresh Rawal 'foolish' for quitting Hera Pheri 3. "Using this kind of word for one of my co-star like a foolish word or something. I would not appreciate it, and that's not right. I worked with him since the last 30-35 years, we are very good friends. He's a great actor and I really admire him. Whatever it is (referring to controversy), I don't think this is a place where I'm going to talk about it because whatever has to happen, it's a very serious matter. It is a matter which is going to be handled by the court and things like that. So, I don't think I'm going to speak about it here,' he said. Hera Pheri 3 is helmed by Priyadarshan.

Naseeruddin Shah shouted at me after watching my shows, recalls Amruta Subhash: ‘I would rather see you failing'
Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah had a few words to say to Amruta Subhash after watching her performance on stage. In an interview with The Lallantop, Amruta shared that she was expecting 'Naseer saab' to praise her acting and was already quite proud of herself that she earned applause on stage. Instead, she got a scolding from him when Naseeruddin said that he is 'concerned' for her after seeing the performance. (Also read: Amruta Subhash was rejected from a dance group because of her skin colour: 'Started believing that I wasn't beautiful') During the interaction, Amruta went on to recall the scenario. She shared that during her performance, there was one specific part where her character had to cry, and she would make sure to elicit applause from the audience in that bit. One day, when she noticed that Naseer saab was present, she did the same, and it made her feel proud. Interestingly, Naseer Saab sat for a second show of the play too. After the play, she met him at the tea shop. She added, "He came to me, and he was like, 'Amruta…' I was like, 'Yes sir', and he said, 'I watched your play' and the proud me was like, 'Okay and?' He then said, 'Beta, I am concerned.' I was shocked. I was like I received so much applause for my work, why is he so concerned?' He then told me, 'Beta, I watched both the shows, and you did the same thing for claps.' He was very angry. He said in a higher tone, 'I would rather see you failing doing something new rather than doing the same thing again and again for claps, okay?' I was like, 'Okay, sir, sorry.' He asked whether the character even needed to cry. He said you're forcing yourself on the character and not letting it explore anything new. You will be repetitive as an actor. Your career will be over. That incident changed things in me and shifted something in me.' Amruta is a National Award winning actor who has worked in Killa, Vihir, Contract, Raman Raghav 2.0, Gully Boy, and Dhamaka. She was most recently seen in Chidiya which also stars Vinay Pathak, and Svar Kamble. Directed by Mehran Amrohi, the film hit theaters on May 30.
