The blog stated that a metal piece pierced through his left calf, and he was immediately rushed to the hospital.

The eminent actor shared that the doctor has advised him not to work out on the treadmill.

"The medical team has instructed me not to stand for too long, or move too much. Walking on treadmill is strictly prohibited for the time being. At times the satisfaction of the extreme may bring the joys or the griefs of existence. However, extremes do not last, they either perish or leave an indelible mark at strategic places on the body or bodies. So help me God!," added the actor.

The actor posted some pictures on Twitter which showed him running towards the sets with bandage on his left legs from the sets of "Kaun Banega Crorepati".

"Running, striding and jogging on to work. Love you and please do shower me with your love and prayers," the post read.
