Anil Kapoor is suffering from a leg injury known as bursitis

Age is just a number for actor Anil Kapoor who looks ever-youthful. You will just not be able to guess his age, until you know that he brought in his 60th birthday recently. The actor has wrapped up the shooting of Anees Bazmee’s ‘Mubarakan’ recently, and now he has injured his leg. Confirming the same with a leading daily, he said, “It’s not a new injury; it’s an injury that I have had for many years. It’s called bursitis and it’s an internal injury in my left leg between the ankle and heel area. It is a condition in which the tendon gets inflamed. It’s a result of wear-and-tear, body imbalance, as well as action sequences and dance movements that are part of our profession. So, I’m going to take it easy.” (Also Read: Anil Kapoor unveils his wax statue at Madame Tussauds)

He further added, “Pehle main kaam chala leta tha (earlier, I would somehow manage). But now, I feel that I must focus on [healing] it for one or one-and-a-half month. And I have been working on it. Hopefully, it will heal in that much time (around one-and-a-half-month) and I’m able to completely recover. I can do work but only what is light in nature. It’s [injury] not that intense that I can’t work at all. However, I can’t do rigorous action or dance movements for a month. Jo main phudakta rahta hoon idhar udhar, woh kam karna padega ek mahine ke liye (laughs; for a month now I have to cut down on the jumping around that I keep doing generally). So, I have to conserve my energy now.”

Get well soon, Mr Kapoor!
