Actor Gurmeet Choudhary recently opened up about the challenges he faced while shooting action scenes for his upcoming web series ‘Commander Karan Saxena’. Despite injuring his shoulders early in the shoot, Gurmeet chose to soldier on quietly, fearing that disclosing his injury might lead to the exclusion of crucial action sequences from the series. “Very few people know, and now I can share that when I started shooting the action scenes, I injured my shoulders,” Gurmeet revealed in an interview with ANI.

“I didn’t tell anyone because I was afraid the action director might cut those scenes, which I didn’t want. So, I took painkillers and quietly sought medical help,” he added, emphasizing his determination to complete the demanding scenes without compromise.
