Paresh Rawal reveals he has drank his own urine 'like beer'

Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal recently shared a story about how an unusual piece of advice helped him recover faster from a serious injury.

During the shooting of Rajkumar Santoshi’s film Ghatak, Paresh suffered a knee injury and was rushed to Nanavati Hospital by Tinnu Anand and Danny Denzongpa. Doctors told him it would take around three months for him to fully recover.

Action choreographer Veeru Devgan found out that Paresh had been admitted while he was visiting for another reason. Paresh said, "Veeru Devgan came to visit when I was in Nanavati (hospital). When he found out I was there, he came up to me and asked what happened. I told him about my knee injury."

Veeru then gave him an unusual suggestion.

"He told me to drink my own urine first thing in the morning," Paresh revealed.

Veeru also advised him to stay away from alcohol, red meat, and smoking during his recovery. 

"He said all action people do that," Paresh recalled him saying.

Talking about how he followed the advice, Paresh shared, "I had decided if I had to drink my own urine, I wouldn’t have it all at once; I’d sip it like beer. Because I wanted to do it properly."

He added, "I did this for 15 days. Fifteen 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."

Thanks to the unexpected remedy, Paresh recovered much faster than expected. "I was supposed to be discharged in 2-2.5 months, but I was discharged in 1.5 months. It was like magic," he said.

Fans were shocked after hearing this revelation. One commented, "Paresh Rawal just ruined beer for me." Another wrote, "How is this even possible?" and some thought it was unbelievable, saying, "This is information I really didn’t need."

On the work front, Paresh Rawal was last seen in The Storyteller, in which he played Tarini Bandyopadhyay. He also has several upcoming projects, including Bhoot Bangla with Akshay Kumar, Thama with Ayushmann Khurrana, and Hera Pheri 3 alongside Akshay and Suniel Shetty.
