Time tested home remedy, right footing
An aching back at the shooting schedule of 'Patiala House'… and a sprained ankle on the sets of 'Action Replayy'.The accident happy 'Happy Singh' notched up yet another injury. This time around, however, Akshay Kumar received help from familial quarters. From his gorgeous mom in law, no less. Dimple Kapadia rushed to the nearby venue, and took charge completely. A painkiller was administered and DK fussed over Akki fondly.She instructed his make up man Narendra 'dada' to perform a time tested home remedy: the ailing foot is twisted and massaged in a particular manner, so as to assuage the pain and offer swift relief. Aks, meanwhile, loved basking in the attention. Guess, Dimple's on the right footing.
Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?
I know, though, 'remedy' means "a sort of precaution" to avoid something?
