Exclusive! Did you know Hardik Sangani once thought of going into surgery to increase his height?

Gujarati film 'Midnights with Menka' actor Hardik Sangani enjoys a huge fan following in

Dhollywood

owing to his acting skills. The star is also well-known for his performances in daily soaps. During this lockdown phase, Hardik has been spending his leisure time reading and spending time with himself. However, he unfortunately also suffers from a hereditary condition where his

height

did not grow over a certain level when he was in his teens. Speaking exclusively with ETimes, Hardik revealed that there was a time when he considered going into

surgery

to boost his height growth.

Hardik shares this hilarious incident saying, "We all have our low moments in life. All of a sudden I was out of work. I thought I'm not getting work because I'm short. Though it’s a hereditary problem, I'm the second tallest in my family. We are a minion family. Since my childhood, I have tried very hard. I tried everything from cycling to swimming and from Complan to vitamins but nothing worked.”

further adds, “I read on Google about this height growth surgery. The surgery looked like an expensive one and I belong to a very middle-class family. I thought I'll arrange the money from somewhere and will do this surgery. I took the doctor's appointment and met him. He asked me to get some reports done and he told me he can increase my height up to 5 inches. I was extremely happy. The doctor seemed like an angel to me. He told me the procedure in which he'll put extension rods in my leg bones and increase my height. Then he told me that he won't guarantee that I'll be able to walk normally. I was shocked. I imagined myself becoming taller and lying in bed or walking funnily. So, I dropped the idea and accepted the fact that this is what it is.”

Saying that self acceptance was the best way to succeed in life, Hardik says, “I believe things become easy when you accept it. So, I turned my biggest weakness into my strength and to date, I believe I'm blessed with so much work because of my "Strength". God has made every human special. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. We all are unique."
