Ek pair lamba chota hojaata hai jiski wajah se walk tedi hojaati hai (One leg becomes longer or shorter than the other, because of which the walking becomes uneven). You can’t walk or run properly.”In the same conversation, the actor added, “You get arthritis early, slip disc early.”He further shared, “West main iska bahut accha treatment hota hai birth pe hi India main har jagah nahi hai itna. But yahan bhi bahut acche doctors hain jo iska care karte hain (In the West, there is very good treatment for this right from birth, but in India it’s not available everywhere to that extent. However, there are also very good doctors here who take care of it).”
