Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan had hurt his knee, while shooting for some action sequences in Dhoom 2 and Krish. and so as to heal the hurt, the actor is flying to Singapore for treatment.

Roshan told The Times of India newspaper he had pushed himself too hard for action scenes while filming the hit movies “Krrish'’ and “Dhoom 2,'’ and tore a ligament in his right knee.

“I basically succumbed to the notion that we’re all heroes and pain doesn’t matter,'’ said Roshan, describing how he had to strap his knee to complete shots. “I understand now how foolish I have been.'’

Not many know that the actor had been neglecting treatment so far, in spite of his doctor and physiotherapist’s instructions!

He said that he found it very difficult to follow doctors’ advice to rest.

“I have to force myself to rest. It’s the hardest thing for me to do,'’ said Roshan. “Resting is against my personality.'’

Finally though, Hrithik has given-in to their advice and the actor is off to Singapore for 6 weeks of rigorous recuperation.

He says “While working towards fulfilling my commitments to all my work, ads and film, I did not much care about my knee pain & have neglected my doctor’s advice to not put any stress on it and take complete rest if I wanted it to heal.”

His situation has gone from bad to worse now, the pain in his knee has become excruciating, and the actor has no choice but to yield to his doctor’s advice.

“I am giving my health a prior importance now, so that none of my further commitments suffer in the near future “, adds the star known for his perfectionism.

Happy healing Hrithik!!! Come Back soon.
