The actor injured his ear while filming a boxing shot
Over a year after Farzi (2023), Bhuvan Arora has returned with the Kartik Aaryan-led Chandu Champion, in which he plays a boxer. While such a role can be demanding for any actor, Arora considers it his riskiest to date. Reason? Kabir Khan’s directorial venture left him with a 50 per cent damaged eardrum. The incident happened in Mumbai, on the second last day of his shoot. “I was shooting for a boxing sequence. Accidentally, one of my co-actors hit me in the face and it hurt me hard. I didn’t shoot for the next few hours. I thought [the pain] was momentary, but later, I felt something irritating my left ear,” he recalls.
When the pain and discomfort continued for a few days, Arora consulted a specialist. “When I went to my ENT, he told me I had damaged 50 per cent of my eardrum. I didn’t realise it initially, because my [right] ear was working fine. I had to undergo treatment for a while. I was told if the eardrum doesn’t repair itself in six weeks, I would require a reconstruction surgery. Thankfully, six weeks later, it had healed a fair bit. So, the doctor decided against surgery.”
