Speaking to E-times, the veteran actor sai, I developed a corn in my right foot and I neglected it. It became an infection that percolated into the bone marrow and in no time, had spread in my body. I developed gangrene. 
The only way to save myself was to get the corned leg amputated till the knee." The report further adds, that Lokendra's surgery lasted for 5 hours   at Mumbai's Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mira Road.

All this leads to diabetes and not if you are fond of sweets."Lokendra has received financial aid through CINTAA and his friends from the industry are helping him in the hour of crisis.
