Internet reacts to Paresh Rawal's 'drank my own urine to combat leg injury' statement; one netizen writes, "Waste management by him"

Many people were shocked when veteran actor Paresh Rawal recently disclosed an odd treatment he used to speed up his recuperation from an injury: drinking his own urine. Social media is currently experiencing a surge of disbelief and trolling in response to his shocking admission.

After suffering a leg injury, Paresh Rawal recalled being admitted to Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital in Mumbai. Veeru Devgan, the renowned action director and father of Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn, paid him a visit while he was in the hospital and gave him some rather unusual advice.

While speaking to Lallantop, Paresh recounted, “Veeru Devgan had come to visit when I was in Nanavati (hospital). When he got to know I was there, he came up to me and asked what happened to me? I told him about my leg injury.... He told me to drink my own urine first thing in the morning. He shared that all fighters do this, saying that ‘You will never face any problem, just drink urine first thing in the morning’. He told me not to consume alcohol, which I had stopped, mutton or tobacco. He told me to eat regular food and urine in the morning.”

Taking Veeru Devgan’s words seriously, Paresh decided to follow the advice. He added, “I had decided if I had to drink my own urine I’ll not have it at one go, I’ll sip it like beer. Because I want to do it properly. I did this for 15 days. 15 days later when the doctor took my X-ray, he was shocked. The doctor asked me, ‘How did this cementing happen?’ He could see a white line forming. I was supposed to be discharged in 2-2.5 months, but I was discharged in 1.5 months. It was like magic."
