The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri recently took to his social media handles to reveal that he has undergone knee surgery. The cartilage rupture in his knee occurred on 24th Dec 2020 but he ignored it for one and half years as he was working day in and day out on his ambitious project ‘The Kashmir Files’. Vivek also mentioned that he has now finally begun his knee therapy. He also admitted to compromising his body due to his work commitments.
Taking to his Twitter handle, he posted a photo of his bandaged knee with the caption, “Finally, knee therapy begins. Fully ignored Miniscus (cartilage tear) for 1.5 yrs due to #TheKashmirFiles. Kept limping. It became worse. Now I also have stress fracture. Whenever I have to chose between body and work, I end up compromising on my body. Must change this attitude.” In the next follow-up post, the director posted a series of his pictures from the sets of The Kashmir Files. In the click, he is seen standing and posing with a walking stick for support. The post read, “This was the day - 24th Dec 2020. When I slipped and tore my Cartilage. Doctors asked me to rest it out for 6-8 weeks. But like they say, Show Must Go On. Show went on, uninterrupted, for next 18 months but my knee worsened. Today, whom do I blame for ‘self-inflicted-fracture’?” ALSO READ: After The Kashmir Files, Vivek Agnihotri Announces His Next Film The Delhi Files, Filmmaker To Begin The Work Soon
