News
of
Superstar
Hrithik
Roshan
nursing
his
bad
knee
has
been
circulating
for
quite
a
while
now,
but
not
many
know
that
the
actor
had
been
neglecting
treatment
so
far,
in
spite
of
his
doctor&physiotherapist's
instructions!
Finally
though
Hrithik
has
given-in
to
their
advice
and
the
actor
is
off
to
Singapore
for
6
weeks
of
rigorous
recuperation.
Owing
to
some
action
packed
performances
in
Krrish&Dhoom:2,
Hrithik
had
torn
the
ligament
in
his
right
knee
and
all
though
it
caused
him
tremendous
pain,
Hrithik
refused
to
yield
and
continued
working,
the
professional
that
he
is.
In
spite
of
his
doctor's
advice
for
No
strenuous
movements
or
exercise,
he
went
ahead
and
completed
the
painstaking
training,
traveling
and
shooting,
required
for
his
forthcoming
film
Ashutosh
Gowarikar's
Jodhaa
Akbar!
That
was
not
all;
the
Jodhaa
Akbar
shoot
got
extended
due
to
which
all
his
ads
got
delayed.
Hence
once
more
the
treatment
of
his
knee
took
a
backseat
as
Hrithik
completed
his
commitments
towards
the
brand
relationships
since
even
they
have
their
own
immense
pressures.
As
a
result,
the
knee
did
not
get
enough
rest
to
recuperate
and
hence
now
the
situation
is
such
that
it
has
become
essential
for
him
to
put
all
the
work
on
back
burner
and
go
abroad
for
complete
treatment.
In
fact
his
new
movie
shoot
has
also
been
delayed
because
of
the
treatment
now.
Says
Hrithik,
'While
working
towards
fulfilling
my
commitments
to
all
my
work
-
ads&film,
I
did
not
much
care
about
my
knee
pain&have
neglected
my
doctors
advise
to
not
put
any
stress
on
it
and
take
complete
rest
if
I
wanted
it
to
heal.'
However,
going
by
the
present
condition,
he
thinks
it's
best
to
take
a
6-week
break
and
recuperate
fully
rather
than
stretch
it
further
to
the
point
of
non-repair.
'I
am
giving
my
health
a
prior
importance
now,
so
that
none
of
my
further
commitments
suffer
in
the
near
future',
adds
the
star
known
for
his
perfectionism.
So
off
he
goes
to
Singapore,
for
6
weeks...
well,
we
hope
Hrithik
returns
soon,
fitter
than
ever!
