Kartik Aaryan to Undergo Knee Surgery After Injury on Kabir Khan's Film SetPreviousNext

Actor Kartik Aaryan sustained a serious knee injury while filming intense action sequences for director Kabir Khan's upcoming untitled project. He was rushed to Fortis Raheja Hospital, where surgery is scheduled, followed by a brief recovery period. The injury may temporarily affect his shooting schedule, including other projects like Anurag Basu's film. This is not Aaryan's first knee injury, as he previously reported a similar issue during a song shoot for Shehzada. Further updates on his recovery are awaited.
