While shooting for his home production Kites in Las Vegas in the US, Hrithik Roshan tore a ligament on his ankle. The injury occurred on the same leg on which he had suffered a 10 cm ligament tear (on the knee) while shooting for Krrish.
Hrithik had flown off to Singapore for treatment. Later he came back to do an item number for their home production Krazzy 4 subsequent to which his injury worsened.
A source from Vegas who witnessed the entire action was stunned to see Hrithik continuing work despite the injury. “A doctor was rushed to the sets immediately when Hrithik yelped in pain. The doctor told him that he needed to rest and could not continue shooting,” says the source. However that being the last day of the shoot, Hrithik went ahead and finished his portions.
The source also adds, “We thought the Los Angeles leg of the shooting would be cancelled especially with his dad Rakesh Roshan being the producer. But Hrithik is a true trooper and continued shooting with his ankle all strapped up.”
Incidentally, wife Susanne and kids Hrehaan and Hridaan have flown to the US to be with their father.
