I can't put my foot down on the floor

In a recent chat with The Times of India, the actor opened up about his fall, sharing, "It was the second to last day of filming. I had to take strong painkillers to get through the final scenes. Since I couldn't stand or walk, I had to return to Mumbai in a wheelchair. I'm currently on painkillers and steroids, and I have an MRI scheduled for today. I've been resting in bed since I got back to Mumbai. I'm gradually getting better, but I still can't put my foot on the ground and I'm limping."
