Gymming takes toll on Ashish Chowdhry

Actor Ashish Chowdhry perhaps had an over-ambitious session at the gym as he ended up with a torn ligament following some lightweight squats.

"Torn a ligament in my back. Gotta be tucked in bed for a few days. All thanks to my over excited gymming and the 400 pounds 'lightweight' squats. Messed up for the first time by indulging in impractical heavy weights," Ashish shared on Twitter.

He also had a word of advice for those who work out.

"Weights don't matter, correct form works," added the actor, who has featured in films like "Dhamaal", "Paying Guests" and "Double Dhamaal".

The bed-ridden actor is making the most of this time to catch up on "lots of TV shows".
