Actress Samyukta Hegde, who suffered a ligament tear while shooting a stunt sequence for Kannada film Cream, will undergo surgery to recover from the injury.
On Instagram, the actress posted a video clip of the stunt sequence in which she was injured and wrote, "I tore my ACL and it happened! We were shooting for a fight sequence. I rehearsed that scene exactly six times. Before the take, then, during the take, I slipped and my knee slipped a little more than a drop.
"I screamed in cold pain and my mind went blank. After a few seconds, I didn't even understand where the pain was coming from. I'm a person who doesn't cry over minor injuries. I dusted myself off. What I was doing but this time I couldn't do it. "I was on set so my team helped me get to the hospital and the doctor looked at me and said there must be no major reason for me to stay. A lot of pain and tears if it is.
"We did an X-ray and all my bones looked good, and then we did an MRI (my first MRI) and there we saw that my ligament was completely torn. I went to five different surgeons, two physiotherapists, and everyone suggested I get it because the damage wasn't being repaired by it Surgery
"When the last surgeon told me this was the way to go, I cried as I couldn't accept the fact that I could do nothing but at least three-four months (best case) post-rehab and recovery."I'm going to give this recovery journey my all, strengthen myself and bounce back as soon as possible.
My film team, especially my director Abhishek Basant and the producer have been super supportive of everything and they are giving me all the strength and positivity I need to come out of this rut.
"Abhishek Basant says, 'I'm a warrior and I'm going to survive worse than today'. My cinematographer Sunoj Velayudhan constantly reminds me that I'm his hero and no one else can. It's time to focus on what I have in this film and what I'm improving and that’s it.
"Last but not least, my family, friends and all of you are sending me so much love. All your words really motivate me to recover and come back soon! Hey, my dancer legs, don't we worry. Come back alright?"
