Paresh Rawal says he drank urine for 15 days to heal injury
The veteran actor claimed the unconventional remedy was suggested by late action director Veeru Devgan during the filming of Ghatak.
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal revealed that he drank his own urine for 15 days to recover from a serious leg injury. According to a Times of India report, Rawal shared this account during an interview with The Lallantop in April 2025.
The incident occurred while Rawal was filming the movie Ghatak, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. He stated that he injured his knee after slipping on a wet floor in a fish market sequence while wearing new footwear. Actors Tinnu Anand and Danny Denzongpa assisted in taking him to Nanavati Hospital.
Rawal said the late action director Veeru Devgan, father of actor Ajay Devgn, suggested the remedy. Devgan reportedly advised him to drink his first urine of the morning and to avoid alcohol the previous night, claiming fighters used this practice.
The actor said he chose to sip the liquid like beer rather than gulping it. Rawal claimed that after 15 days of this practice, an X-ray showed significant progress in his healing. He noted that while his expected recovery was two to two-and-a-half months, he returned to work after approximately one-and-a-half months.
