Ranveer Singh’s selfie from a hospital bed left many amused and the actor said he posted the picture online just for fun.

Singh, 29, was in surgery for a shoulder injury he got while shooting an action sequence from his upcoming film Bajirao Mastani.

“It was a big action scene and I was riding a horse when the accident happened. I broke my shoulder and tore some ligament, which had to be re-attached. Now I am in the physiotherapy phase and trying to get stronger to resume work,” Singh said.

When asked about the much-retweeted selfie, where he is seen grinning on the operating table just before the surgery, Singh laughed and said: “I was there lying in the bed when someone came and asked for a selfie. I said no initially but then I thought, why not? I posted the picture just for a kick. I think it has never been done before and many people were amused by it,” he said.

The actor is known for his quirky stunts in real life. Earlier, he put on a Krrish costume and danced in the middle of the road to a Hrithik Roshan song when Roshan, the star of the superhero film, dared him to.
