Nargis Fakhri Opens Up About Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Recovery
Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri has publicly shared her personal health journey, revealing that she underwent stem cell therapy to address chronic knee injuries. In a heartfelt video message to her fans, Fakhri explained that years of dancing led to meniscus tears in both her knees, prompting her to opt for a bone marrow stem cell procedure as a healing solution.
Recovery Progress and Positive Results
In the clip, Fakhri expressed her enthusiasm about the treatment's outcomes. "Hi guys, I would love to share my journey with you about my stem cell. I did the bone marrow stem cell for my both knees. They had meniscus tears due to dancing and I am two and a half months in and I'm feeling absolutely amazing. I can actually say that I feel at least 75 to 80% better," she stated. This update highlights a significant improvement in her condition, marking a notable milestone in her recovery process.
Past Experiences and Decision-Making
Fakhri revealed that this was not her first encounter with knee issues. Nearly a decade ago, she faced a similar diagnosis but chose to avoid surgery at that time. "About 10 years ago I had the same issue with my knees, meniscus tears on both knees and I actually did not want to get surgery, which was proposed to me many times. Instead I went the physio way and I strengthened my muscles but that took me a very long time. That took me maybe I would have to say years to be honest," she recounted. This historical context underscores the prolonged nature of her previous recovery efforts.
Why Stem Cell Therapy Was Chosen
The availability of advanced medical treatments played a crucial role in her recent decision. Fakhri emphasized, "And this time stem cell is available now to everybody which is absolutely amazing. So I decided to contact Regen Ortho Sport and speak to Dr. Movva about it. He gave me the confidence and so I went with it and I'm just very happy that I did because from years of physio to now two and a half months feeling pretty good is a huge difference." This shift reflects broader advancements in healthcare accessibility and her proactive approach to wellness.
Advice for Others Facing Similar Issues
Encouraging individuals with knee problems to explore alternatives, Fakhri offered guidance. "So anyone who's out there like having these issues with their knees, I highly recommend trying the stem cell before any kind of surgery," she advised. This recommendation stems from her personal experience and aims to promote non-invasive treatment options.
Recent Professional Endeavors
On the career front, Nargis Fakhri continues to be active in the film industry. She was most recently seen in Milap Zaveri's film 'Mastiii 4'. Prior to that, she featured in the hit comedy thriller 'Housefull 5', which premiered on June 6, 2025. These projects demonstrate her ongoing commitment to her acting career despite health challenges.
