Bipasha Basu has been talking about the injury she suffered while rehearsing for an event in Bangkok.
Talking to an Indian newspaper, the leggy Bengal babe says, “I didn’t even know it was a tear in the knee. There was a lot of pain in Bangkok and I didn’t know what it was. I thought it was a problem related to my flat feet. But after I returned to Mumbai and finished with John’s brother’s wedding reception I got an MRI done. It showed a tear. It’s very common occurrence in the legs of active people like dancers and athletes. That tear just stays. There’s no cure for it. If you lead a routine life it doesn’t bother you at all. For a housewife the tear wouldn’t even matter. Otherwise there’s arthroscopy. But I have not advised been advised that. I can walk, work-out, dance do everything.”
Bips is taking all precautions and has hired a personal physiotherapist, “I didn’t want to inconvenience anyone during the shooting. So as a precautionary measure I kept a therapist around because during a dance movement there was some swelling. None of the dance steps changed,” she told the daily.
“The biggest of actors have had injuries when they were doing the least dangerous things. It’s part of our job. It’s no big deal. You just have to understand your body and be careful. Four years back, I ran with the wrong shoes. It caused a knee problem. I immediately corrected that. When I work out, I listen to my body. If something causes pain I stop immediately. And no trainer can push me,” said Bips.
