Good comedy shows and great comic actors are a scarcity in our TV industry. And the ones who are already having a fan following are getting retired hurt in the middle of their innings. Comedy Circus star Balraj Syal is one such name who has injured himself recently and is working on his faster recovery to make a comeback.

Recently, he experienced severe pain in his back while rehearsing on the sets of Comedy Circus. He avoided getting the pain checked by a doctor and went on with his hectic schedule. Then one day in between his act, when he had to pick up the child artist, Divyansh, he realized that the pain is something more.

When the doctors did a complete checkup, they confirmed that he is suffering from slip disc. In a statement to the Times of India, Balraj said that it happened when he was playing cricket with his friends. He suddenly experienced a catch while playing but avoided going to the doctor. He had an event in Ahmedabad the next day and another work commitment in Mumbai the following day as well. There were technical rehearsals for Comedy Circus too so there wasn't a lot of time apart from the fact that he thought the pain would subside.

He said that since the show is inching towards the end, he had to be there for those weeks. He wore a belt beneath his shirt while standing and would hardly sit on set as it would be discomforting.

He then went on to say that he used to go to the office just once to give the idea and then the writer would come over to his place for the sittings. It gave him time to rest and recuperate and he is really thankful to the team for the support. Hoping to be fit soon, Balraj will be taking physiotherapy and yoga. We wish the actor gooh health and a faster recovery.
