Actor Ranveer Singh on Saturday underwent a surgery for a shoulder injury he suffered on the set of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next film "Bajirao Mastani". He kept fans updated with live tweets before the medical procedure.

The "Band Baaja Baraat" actor shared an image of himself on a hospital bed with leads attached to his bare chest. He was live-tweeting from the operation theatre to stay connected with his well wishers.
