I have been taking MRI and CT scans for a week. I have been taking a lot of medicines. Physiotherapy was very painful. I am taking painkillers now.” He added that he’s been prescribed muscle relaxants, which are also making his throat heavy.With the caption titled, “13th June, Mumbai (bandaged heart emoji),” Sonu revealed that he’d be performing after almost one-and-a-half months. “My confidence is already low because of that.
