/> While rehearsing in Bangkok for one of her dance steps Bipasha got a tear in her knee.

"I didn't even know it was a tear.There was a lot of pain in Bangkok and I didn't know what it was. I thought it was a problem related to my flat feet.

But after I returned to Mumbai and finished with John's brother's wedding reception I got an MRI done. It showed a tear.

It's very common occurrence in the legs of active people like dancers and athletes. That tear just stays. There's no cure for it. If you lead a routine life it doesn't bother you at all.For a housewife the tear wouldn't even matter.

Otherwise there's arthro-scopy. But my orthopaedic surgeons have not advised it. I can walk, work-out, dance do everything."

In Mumbai she kept a physio-therapist handy on the sets. "I didn't want to inconvenience anyone during the shooting.

So as a precautionary measure I kept a therapist around because during a dance movement there was some swelling. None of the dance steps changed. Dancing isn't a routine activity so the therapist was just a precautionary measure."

Says Bipasha, "The biggest of actors have had injuries when they were doing the least dangerous things. It's part of our job. It's no big deal.

You just have to understand your body and be careful. Four years back I ran with the wrong shoes. It caused a knee problem. I immediately corrected that. I read about health. I understand health. I believe in long-term health.

When I work out I listen to my body. If any part of my body gives me any pain I stop immediately. And no trainer can push me."

Bipasha seems to be becoming quite an expert at pushing her co-stars from skyscrapers. She pushed Saif Ali Khan off a building in Race. Now she has pushed Neil Nitin Mukesh off the ninth floor in Bangkok for a sequence in Freeze.

Chuckles Bipasha, "Race was a hit. And if Freeze turns out a success they'll think my pushing heroes off buildings is lucky for a film. Everyone will start writing in heroine-pushes-hero scene into all my scripts.I'm becoming a hero-pusher."
