Hrithik Roshan had almost given up hope that his injury-prone knee would ever heal fully when a miracle happened and got the handsome star dancing again.

The Bollywood star had been living with perpetual pain in his knee for two years and had tried various types of therapies, but none really helped. His predicament was compounded by the fact that he had to be fully fit to play the lead role in dad Rakesh Roshan’s home production Kites . Hrithik plays a dance instructor in the film.

Before beginning to shoot the movie in the US, Hrithik tried all last-minute remedies to heal his knee fully. Among them was a new but not-yet-legalized therapy in which needles had to be stuck in his knee joint and platelets to be inserted into his knees. Though the therapy provided him relief, but the pain still remained.

Hrithik says there even came a point when he doubted if he could do justice to his role in ‘Kites’ and asked his dad Rakesh Roshan to sign another actor. But the Roshan senior and director Anurag Basu decided to wait and let Hrithik’s knee heal more.

Finally, when the schedule for US was chalked out, Hrithik was anxious. The very first scene to be shot was an action scene.

Miraculously, on the morning of the first day of the shoot Hrithik woke up to find the pain in his knee gone.

“It’s a kind of miracle,” Hrithik is quoted as saying.

The actor says all the remedies and therapies he went through came together one day and his knee was healed.

Now, Hrithik says he can dance better than before. Why? Because he doesn’t take his knee for granted. In fact, the nimble-footed star is in the process of shooting a dance number for ‘Kites’. The song has been choreographed by Flexy, who, as the name suggests, is known for his tough dance steps. But Hrithik’s not worried. He CAN dance, saala.

‘Kites’ is a love story starring Hrithik with Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut .
