Faisal Khan's tragic leg injury and subsequent surgery have forced him and his baliye Muskaan Kataria to exit Nach Baliye 9. While shooting for the last few episodes of Chandragupt Mourya, Faisal fell down from a horse and ended up suffering a severe leg injury. And this led to Faisal and Muskaan, one of the strongest contestants of the show, to make an exit as Faisal has been adviced rest of 8 weeks. Nach Baliye 9: Faisal Khan To QUIT The Show After leg Surgery?

Recalling his accident, Faisal told HT, "I have done this stunt before, so, I don’t know what went wrong. When I jumped off the horse, I fell badly and broke my tibia and fibula — the two long bones in the lower leg. This accident was unexpected and when I was being tended to, I was in shock. I am a dancer and never have I been hurt while dancing or performing stunts in my acting career."

Sometimes, destiny takes the lead against your wishes and unfortunately, you cannot control it. Nach Baliye was my return on to stage, reliving adrenaline rush of performing on stage again, dancing and doing what so love the most! And this time no longer as a child but rather as an adult! The journey so far had been fabulous as we continued to stretch our own limits and bring to stage one after another never seen before acts. But, little did I know that the world is going to turn upside down for me. We take the smallest things for granted and really don’t know what tomorrow holds for us. The last three days have changed the course of my immediate future and how! As most of you know, I have had a massive injury while shooting for Chandragupta Maurya. Luckily the doctors performed a surgery day before yesterday, and I am on my road to recovery. A fibula tibia fracture is painful and how! It will be a few weeks I’d be rest and atleast a few months of sadly no dance! Ask me what an addiction dance is, ask me what an addiction the stage is and I shall tell you every minute in the next two months shall be incomplete, as I am without dance in my life! Keep us in your prayers 🙏

And in the wake of Faisal and Muskaan's exit, the latter will be performing solo on the Nach stage one last time, before making an exit. Faisal continued, "Doctors have told me to rest the leg for three months so that it heals fully. The good part is that my role in the show ended but I had to quit the dance reality show that I was a part of with my girlfriend, Muskaan Kataria. I am unable to walk properly and have to rest till my plaster comes off, so dancing is out of the question." Well, we wish Faisal a speedy recovery!
