23 surgeries in 3 years... now this superstar a millionaire!!!
Be it bollywood or South Industry, the actors who have become superstars today have faced very struggling days. There is one such superstar in tamil cinema as well. It took him 10 years to make his mark in the film industry. His life changed when he had a terrible accident and he was bedridden for three years.
This actor is Chiyaan vikram who is a big name in South Cinema. But there was a time in his life when he went through very bad days. He once had a terrible accident after which his leg had to be amputated. This actor, who was struggling with pain and trouble, had to undergo 23 surgeries and only then he was able to stand on his feet.
When it came to cutting the leg?
During the promotion of the film 'Thangalan', in an interview given to Ranveer Ahlabdia, Chiyan vikram spoke openly about this accident that happened to him. He said- 'It was a bad accident, very difficult. When they took me to the hospital, they wanted to cut my leg. It was so bad because if I had a cut, I would have probably bled. Because there was no cut, my bones were broken.'
The actor's pulse had stopped
Chiyan said- 'My leg was swollen and my pulse had stopped. They did not know what to do in the government hospital, they said let's cut his leg. In those days, if you had an accident, it was a police case. So you had to take that person to the government hospital. They did not have the tools to cut my leg. So I was taken to a private hospital and some magic happened. They took out blood and my pulse came back.'
He was bedridden for 3 years, underwent 23 surgeries
The actor had told that he was bedridden for three years and during this time he had to undergo 23 surgeries. When he recovered, 5 years after the accident, he went to the same doctor who had suggested that his leg be amputated. Even that doctor was surprised to see Chiyaan vikram standing on his feet.
