When Aaman Devgan injured his knee, it wasn’t just a physical setback, it changed everything for a while. “It happened when I was playing football after shooting for Azaad. I’d already had a bit of an impact while horse riding during the shoot, but back in Mumbai, my leg just snapped during a match.”

It turned out to be a serious ligament tear, one that required surgery. “You can’t really heal it naturally, so you have to go in for an operation. And after that, it’s weeks of bedrest, a leg brace, and then loads of physiotherapy.”

That recovery came just as Azaad promotions were about to begin. “We had to dance on stage, travel to different cities. My doctors weren’t happy about it, but there was no choice. You have to show up for your film.” Aaman had to work around it. “I’d tape up my knee before a show, then limp off stage, straight into the car and start icing it again.”
