Hrithik Roshan – Miraculous Recovery From Knee Injury

Its been so long since Hrithik Roshan has been nursing his knee injury. But things changed for him suddenly when one day he discovered that the pain had disappeared completely. 

“It’s a kind of miracle,” Hrithik said with a yankee twang that he has acquired over the three months in the US shooting for Anurag Basu’s Kites, his first English language film. He added, “I knew I had to get the knee fixed. For two years I tried every remedy available in the world. I came to a point where I almost gave up and decided to live with the pain. Then it all just came together one day.”

Hrithik went through many tried and tested remedies before he discovered Myofascial Tissue Release therapy. Talking about the therapy Hrithik said, “My dad met orthopedic surgeon, Dr Sonu Ahluwalia, who is former actress Pooja Batra’s husband in Los Angeles. He recommended a new not-yet-legalised therapy, PRP – Platelet-rich plasma for me. The therapy required needles to be stuck in my knee joint and platelets to be inserted into my knees. I tried out the treatment for six weeks and then headed to shoot for Kites. But the pain persisted. I had come to a stage where I decided I would dance without exerting my knees. That’s how I for the item song in my dad’s production, Krazzy 4.”

Hrithik then suggested to his dad that he should sign some other leading man for Kites. He said, “It wasn’t meant as a joke. There was lots of action in Kites and we were starting with an elaborate stunt scene. However, Dad and my director Anurag Basu decided to wait for my knee to heal. And when I woke up on the first day of shooting, surprisingly there was no pain! After two years of doing everything possible, I was finally almost painless. Soon my knee was as good as new.” Source
