It was Salman Khan who had said that watching David Dhawan eating is more entertaining than watching David Dhawan's films. "THE PERSON just eats and eats and eats," Salman was apparently heard quipping.
That pleasure will soon be a specific thing of the past. David Dhawan will finally lose those tell-tale pounds on his body, thereby ending his 20-year old battle of the bulge.
The decision was taken this week after David fell and fractured his shoulder at a public function on Wednesday. The prolific director, who's currently shooting a remake of Chashme Buddoor, underwent emergency surgery on Thursday afternoon at Lilavati. The fall, it's felt by his doctors, would was far less damaging if David had not piled on such a lot excess weight.
In a do-or-die endeavour to get David back into shape, his family has decided to finally put the podgy director on a strict diet once he's out of hospital.
Says David's son Rohit, "WE DO NOT know the way exactly he tripped and fell. None people was there with him. He had gone to wait his dear friends Shashi and Anu Ranjan's awards function. The following thing we heard he was at Lilavati. We rushed there and were told it was an excessively painful fractured shoulder. Dad underwent operation on Thursday. He's now recuperating, but in a large number of pain. He's going to need to undergo rigorous physiotherapy for a couple of months before his shoulder can be back to normal."
Rohit says the accident was an even" wakeup call". "We're definitely going to take charge of his diet now. Enough is enough. We do not desire a replay of the accident that happened. Dad agrees with us. So now we're at the same page."
