Though one of her much-awaited releases, Apaharan, has released, Bipasha Basu is not able to bask in the glory of success.

The party is on hold, because the actress has hurt her right knee while rehearsing for a show.

Repetitive stress

Bipasha confirms the news when we contact her. “Yes, I have hurt my knee,� she says. “It was due to too much stress. I was rehearsing for the MTV Immies (on December 9), and a wedding that took place on Sunday night; in the process, I pushed myself too much — like I always do.

I always get so excited about my dance performances that I push myself too hard. During the workouts, I realised that I had done something wrong. The area around my knee started aching, then went numb.�

Complete rest advised

Bips rehearsed for six more hours, till she couldn’t bear the pain any more. “The pain was so bad in the night, I knew I had to visit a doctor. In the morning, when I woke up, my knees were swollen.

When I went to the doctor at Lilavati Hospital, he said fluid had collected in my right knee. He advised complete rest for the next two days, and said the fluid would have to be gotten rid of soon.�

The actress also underwent an MRI scan. “Yes, and it was the most boring thing in the world!� Bips laughs. “They took 45 minutes each to scan both knees. When I was cribbing to my mom, who was with me, she said it was the best time for me to take a break and get some rest.�

So, is Bipasha chilling out for the next few days? “Well, not really. After the MRI reports come in, I have to take them to the doctor again….�
