Rakul Preet Singh on Her Back Spasm

In the video, Rakul, seen resting in bed, shared her thoughts, saying: “Hi, my lovely people. Well, 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. I have been on the bed for the last six days. I think it will take another week or so for me to fully recover."

She further continued, "I really hope I recover faster than that because it is not easy for me to give in and rest. But, it is 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.”

 

Rakul Preet Shot for De De Pyaar De 2 Despite Injury

Previously, her team had shared more details about her injury, stating, "Rakul has been on bed rest since the last few days, and the situation has been quite scary. It all started on the morning of 5th October, when Rakul was doing her workout. She did an 80 kg deadlift without wearing a belt, which resulted in a spasm on her back. Despite this, she continued to shoot for 'De De Pyaar De 2, taking a muscle relaxant to fulfill her commitment for two consecutive days."

The source further continued, "After three days of bearing the pain, she visited the physios, but each time the pain would return after 3-4 hours. The injury had caused trauma to her body, wherein her L4, L5, and S1 nerves jammed. Soon after, her BP dropped, she broke into a sweat, and she was made to rest on the bed. It was quite an eventful birthday, with muscle relaxants and injections given to her. It’s been five days now, and she's recovering slowly but steadily."

The update continued, "Rakul is someone who always pushes her body. Instead of resting, she continued shooting, which has led to a drastic situation. But this is a lesson learnt, and hopefully, she will recover soon."
