Hello, Chandan,

The patella is your kneecap so it sounds like the muscle attachment just below it might be too tight.  It could also be something else entirely.  I don't give out my email address and sending a picture would not be helpful in any case. I am also not a doctor.  You might want to see a doctor, though, to make sure it's not more than just a muscle issue.
