In a recent episode of Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s podcast, popular actor Varun Sharma shared insights about his career, life experiences, and a significant injury he suffered a few years ago. Varun, who has been a well-known name in the entertainment industry, previously collaborated with Bharti and Haarsh on their show Khatra Khatra Khatra. During this show, Varun sustained a severe injury that left a lasting impact on his life.
Varun Sharma’s Injury Story
During the podcast, Haarsh Limbachiyaa apologized to Varun Sharma, recalling the incident on Khatra Khatra Khatra where Varun injured himself. Varun narrated the accident, explaining how it occurred during a game on the show. He was supposed to land on a mattress, but when he jumped, the mattress shifted unexpectedly. As he got up, he heard a crack in his left knee.
Despite the alarming sound, Varun chose to ignore it and continued shooting the entire episode. He recounted that someone advised him to see a physiotherapist. When he finally visited the therapist, his knee locked up as he sat down. Upon consulting a doctor, Varun was diagnosed with a ligament tear in his left knee.
A Lingering Injury
Varun asked Haarsh when Khatra Khatra Khatra concluded, and Haarsh mentioned that the show went off the air almost five years ago. Varun admitted that he hasn’t been able to bend his knee since the incident. Although the doctor recommended surgery, Varun confessed his fear of undergoing knee or back surgery, which led him to avoid the procedure. He humorously added, “Maine 5 saal se knee fold hi nahi kari hai” (“I haven’t folded my knee in five years”).
Haarsh shared that he met Varun in his building and learned about the extent of his injury. Haarsh expressed his regret once again and apologized to Varun. Varun also described the extreme pain he experienced during physiotherapy, stating that while he feels his knee is better now, the trauma from the incident still lingers. He revealed that he hasn’t sat in Vajrasan, a yoga pose that involves folding the knees, for five years since the injury.
