Anshul Jubli is hoping to breathe better after his nose surgery

One of Anshul Jubli's Instagram stories a few days back revealed that he went under the knife for his nose. Jubli detailed that he had been experiencing breathing difficulties for the last two years. However, it took surgery to find that it was a broken fragment of his nasal bone that was causing the trouble.

"Guys, nose job done. This, this bone [showing the bone fragment] was troubling me a lot since the last two years, more so since the last two months, because it was stuck inside. But we also got to know that it was broken only after the surgery... Taking even a single punch blocked my nose previously. But I'll hopefully breathe a lot better now that it's done."
