Anu Aggarwal Supports Paresh Rawal's Claim Of Drinking Urine: 'It's Considered Amrit'
Last Updated: Paresh Rawal had shared the surprising remedy in an interview, recalling how he followed action director Veeru Devgan's advice during his recovery from an accident Anu Aggarwal has reacted to veteran actor Paresh Rawal's recent revelation that he drank his own urine to recover from a serious knee injury. Rawal had shared the surprising remedy in an interview with The Lallantop, recalling how he followed action director Veeru Devgan's advice during his recovery from an accident on the set of Ghatak. Backing Rawal, Anu told Instant Bollywood, 'Many people don't know this… whether it's ignorance or just a lack of awareness, but drinking urine, which is referred to as Aamroli, is actually a mudra (gesture/practice) in Hatha Yoga. I've practiced it myself. All of us have tried it, and it's a very important practice. But one crucial thing to remember is that you don't drink the entire urine stream. Only a specific part of it is consumed, the midstream portion which is considered amrit (nectar). It's known to help with anti-aging, keeping your skin wrinkle-free… it's truly amazing not just for health, but overall well-being. I've personally experienced its benefits." When questioned about science not supporting such practices, she responded, 'How old is science? Around 200 years. But Yoga? It's been around for over 10,000 years. So whose wisdom will you trust? I support Yoga. I live Yoga." Rawal had explained that while filming Ghatak, he was injured during a scene with actor Rakesh Pandey. He was rushed to Nanavati Hospital by Danny Denzongpa and Tinnu Anand. Fearing long-term damage, he was advised by Veeru Devgan to start drinking his own urine every morning. 'All fighters do this. You will never face any problem," Devgan had told him. Rawal added, 'I will sip it like a beer because if I have to follow through, I will do so properly." After following the practice for 15 days, Rawal claimed his recovery time was significantly shortened, surprising even his doctors. First Published: May 02, 2025, 02:56 IST

Paresh Rawal is making the headlines for his recent interview that has taken the internet by storm. The actor has claimed to have healed himself with the help of urine therapy or urotherapy. It is the process of drinking one' own urine for healing. These claims have sparked a controversy online around the medical consistency of the measure adopted by the 'Hera Pheri' actor. In a conversation with The Lallantop, Rawal shared about the time when he was admitted to Nanavati Max Superciality Hospital after getting injured. '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 told me to drink my own urine first thing in the morning. He shared that all fighters do this, saying that '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,' the actor shared, 'Veeru Devgan had come to visit when I was in Nanavati (hospital).

Online Controversy Some medical experts have expressed concerns over the mater on the internet and also warned against potential health risks. Internet's famous 'Liver Dc,' Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, took to social media and responded, 'Please don't drink your urine (or others) because a Bollywood actor says so. There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that drinking urine provides any health benefits.' Dr Philips explained that urine contains toxins and waste that are actually removed from the body. 'Consuming urine can be harmful, potentially introducing bacteria, toxins, and other harmful substances into the bloodstream. Your kidneys work very hard to remove toxic stuff out of your body through urine. Don't insult it by putting it back in,' he wrote. Several other doctors have expressed concern over the urine therapy. While the practice has been part of history since ages, here is hardly any conclusive data that suggests about scietifically proves substantial benefits. According to the American Cancer Society, 'available scientific evidence does not support claims that urine or urea given in any form is helpful for cancer patients.'

‘I will sip it like a beer because…': Paresh Rawal admits he drank his urine to heal a knee injury faster; why expert warns against such unproven remedies
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal recently opened up about an unusual remedy he followed to recover from a serious knee injury sustained while shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi's film Ghatak. Rawal revealed that after injuring his leg during a scene with Rakesh Pandey, he was rushed to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai by fellow actors Tinnu Anand and Danny Denzongpa. Fearing his career was over, he shared that action director Veeru Devgan suggested a surprising method to speed up his recovery: drinking his own urine. Speaking to The Lallantop, 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 continued, '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.' Determined to follow the advice properly, Rawal added, 'I will sip it like a beer because if I have to follow through, I will do so properly.' After doing this for 15 days, he said, 'When the X-ray reports came in, the doctor was surprised.' According to Rawal, what would have normally taken over two months to heal instead healed in about a month and a half. But, is there any scientific evidence to support the idea that drinking one's own urine can speed up the healing of such injuries? Dr Jagadish Hiremath, public health intellectual, tells 'There is currently no scientific evidence to support the claim that drinking one's own urine can aid in the healing of fractures, ligament injuries, or similar musculoskeletal conditions. Healing from such injuries typically depends on factors like the body's natural regenerative processes, adequate blood supply, rest, nutrition, and appropriate medical interventions.' While urine contains some elements like electrolytes, urea, and trace amounts of vitamins, these are substances the body has already chosen to eliminate. 'Reintroducing them does not provide any proven therapeutic benefit, particularly in the context of bone or soft tissue healing. The standard of care remains proper medical treatment, rehabilitation, and supportive nutrition,' he stresses. Potential risks or side effects that could arise from drinking urine Urine is generally sterile at the point of production in healthy individuals, Dr Hiremath says, but it is essentially a waste product containing substances the body seeks to remove, such as toxins, excess salts, and metabolic by-products. Repeatedly consuming it over a period of time could pose risks, including dehydration (due to its high salt content), imbalances in electrolytes, and increased burden on the kidneys. Additionally, he says that if a person has an undiagnosed infection or underlying health condition, 'drinking urine could introduce bacteria or contaminants back into the system, potentially leading to infections or gastrointestinal issues. It is always advisable to follow evidence-based medical practices for any health condition.' Could lifestyle changes explain a faster-than-expected recovery from a knee injury? Dr Hiremath says, 'Absolutely. A well-balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins (such as Vitamin C and D), calcium, and other essential nutrients plays a crucial role in supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms.' Adequate hydration, abstaining from substances like alcohol that can impede healing, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and following a structured rehabilitation program can significantly enhance recovery from injuries. Many cases of 'faster-than-expected' healing are often a result of a combination of these positive lifestyle factors, individual biological variability, and adherence to medical advice.
