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.
