Karan Kapadia undergoes knee surgery, says his injury was ‘so much more difficult from a mental standpoint’

Karan Kapadia underwent surgery for a torn ACL and said that the injury was more difficult for him to deal with mentally than physically.

Actor Karan Kapadia shared a picture from his hospital bed after undergoing surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). In a lengthy note posted on his Instagram page, he said that the injury has forced him to reassess things and helped him to 'learn a lot about' himself.

Karan Kapadia promised to bounce back 'even stronger' from his injury.

“So last month I tore my left ACL , which makes it both knees after having torn my right in 2012. Anybody who has suffered this injury or any serious one knows that it’s so much more difficult from a mental stand point than it is from a physical one,” he wrote.

Karan revealed that he was in the process of preparing for ‘something special’ but that might have to take a backseat now, in the wake of his condition. “Was busting my a** prepping for something special but now it’s time to reassess. Long term injuries can really help you introspect and learn a lot about yourself,” he wrote.
