The New Year started off on a sour note for actor Akshay Kumar as he was in pain after injuring his shoulder, but he now feels better after taking therapy in Germany.

"The New Year started with a downer, what with the shoulder injury, was in excruciating pain since the past few days! Just got back from Germany post some therapy. Feeling much relief now, thank you to all my well wishers, who prayed for me," Akshay wrote on his Facebook page.
