The actor explained that his surgery helped him to introspect certain things in life and also helped him to reassess things and 'learn a lot about' himself. While sharing details about his knee injury, Karan wrote, "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 standpoint than it is from a physical one. 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." 

At last, the 27-year-old- star thanked all his fans and well-wishers who prayed for his recovery. Apart from this, he even thanked the doctors who took extra care. "A big thank you to all you guys for all your messages and concern and an even bigger one to my aunt and the rest of my family for being so amazing. Also a special shout out to Dr. Anant Joshi for fixing both my knees. Thank you so much, sir. My surgery went well and I will be back even stronger," he concluded.
