Saif Ali Khan reacts to his surgery
Speaking to Zoom in an interview following his surgery, Saif Ali Khan revealed that he got badly hurt only on his tricep and dispelled misinformation about 'exaggerated reports' that claimed he had an injured knee and a broken back.
He said that it was his tricep that suffered an injury and stated, "It was painful for a very long time, sometimes more, sometimes less, and at other times it caused unbearable pain... I didn't really know how serious the injury was. Then doing an action sequence for Devara, it got badly hurt again."
Khan then revealed that he continued working with the pain, but slowly "the bandwidth of the pain increased." He further explained about the injury and said, 'The tricep's tendon was torn very badly, barely holding in place like a rubber band which can snap at any moment."
"Fortunately, some self-preservatory instinct in me got this looked at, even though they only realized how bad it was when they opened it up," he told the outlet.
Saif advised to take a month break
The doctors have advised Saif to take a month's break to recover from the surgery. He said, "I have a month off. It was a timely surgery. If it hadn't been done, we would have lost something or the other in the arm."
Thanking fans and the hospital staff, the actor said that it isn't that serious and that he will be home soon. "I am fine now. Brilliant care at the Kokilaben hospital. Top-class medical care. Everything is good now. It was a kind of preventive surgery and just in time," the actor said.
Saif was last seen in Adipurush. He next has Devara, which marks his Tollywood debut.
