Rakul Preet Singh is currently on bed rest following a serious back injury sustained during a workout session. The actress, who recently attempted an 80 kg deadlift without a weightlifting belt, suffered a back spasm that has left her bedridden for the past six days.
In a heartfelt video shared on her Instagram story, Rakul provided her fans with an update on her condition. “Hi, my lovely people. Here is a little health update. I did something very stupid. I did not listen to my body. I had a spasm, kept pushing it, and it turned into a major injury,” she explained. “I have been on the bed for the last six days. I think it will take another week for me to fully recover. I really hope I recover faster than that because it is not easy for me to give in and rest.”
Rakul emphasized the importance of listening to one’s body and not pushing beyond its limits. “It’s a lesson learnt that please listen to your body when it gives you signals. Don’t try to push. I thought that my mind was stronger than my body. It doesn’t always work like that. Thank you so much for all your wishes, especially the people who miss me. I will bounce back stronger.”
Injury Details and Recovery Process
Rakul’s team had previously revealed the details surrounding her injury. It all began on October 5 when she attempted the deadlift, leading to a spasm that escalated into a more serious condition. Despite her injury, Rakul continued filming for her upcoming movie, De De Pyaar De 2, taking muscle relaxants to manage the pain for two consecutive days. However, the pain persisted, and after three days, she sought help from physiotherapists.
“The injury had caused trauma to her body wherein her L4, L5, S1 nerves just jammed,” her team reported. “Soon after, her BP dropped, and she broke into a sweat, requiring her to rest.” The update highlighted that Rakul has always been someone who pushes her body but noted that this experience served as a valuable lesson.
