Veteran actor Paresh Rawal recently shared a surprising and unusual method of recovery that enabled him to recover faster after suffering a knee injury he had while shooting for Ghatak, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. The injury happened on the sets of a scene, and Rawal was taken to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai by co-actors Tinnu Anand and Danny Denzongpa.
Doctors initially informed Rawal that it would take him around three months to recover. But a surprise recommendation from action choreographer Veeru Devgan, actor Ajay Devgn’s father, altered the nature of his rehabilitation.
Veeru Devgan’s Surprise Suggestion
During the time that Paresh Rawal was being hospitalized, Veeru Devgan stopped by, doing another errand at the hospital. On hearing that Paresh was present, Veeru went up to him and asked him about the injury. When he heard that it was knee damage, Veeru recommended a surprising thing to him. “He told me to drink my own urine first thing in the morning,” Paresh revealed during a chat with Lallantop. He further said that Veeru advised against alcohol, red meat, and smoking throughout the time of recovery and keeping a clean diet to accelerate the healing process.

Veeru’s suggestion, though strange, came from his experience with action people, since Paresh explained, “He said all action people do that.”
Rawal’s devotion to the Cure
Brought to a conclusion to keep working on the proposal, Paresh resolved to take the ordeal into his own hands. “I had decided if I had to drink my own urine, I’ll not have it at one go; I’ll sip it like beer. Because I want to do it properly,” he said. He maintained that practice for 15 days, hoping it would have a good effect.
When Paresh came back for an X-ray after 15 days, the outcome astonished both him and the doctor. “The doctor asked me, ‘How did this cementing happen?'” Paresh said, pointing to the white line that had developed on the X-ray, marking the healing process. “I was supposed to be discharged in 2-2.5 months, but I was discharged in 1.5 months. It was like magic,” he testified, speaking of his wonder at how fast he had recovered.
Fans React to Paresh Rawal’s Story
The actor’s revelation left his fans stunned. “Paresh Rawal just ruined beer for me,” one of his fans posted on social media. Another fan was in denial, posting, “How is this even possible?” Some even believed it was a prank, with one posting, “This is information I really didn’t need.”
On the professional front, Paresh Rawal was last seen in The Storyteller, where he played the role of Tarini Bandyopadhyay. The actor has multiple films in the pipeline, including Bhoot Bangla with Akshay Kumar, Thama with Ayushmann Khurrana, and Hera Pheri 3 with Akshay and Suniel Shetty.
