Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh sustained a severe back injury while working out at the gym after trying to lift an 80 kg deadlift.
Following the incident that significantly strained her back, doctors have advised the actress to take complete bed rest to recover fully.
At the time of the injury, Rakul Preet Singh was busy shooting for her upcoming film De De Pyaar De 2, alongside Ajay Devgn.
Despite the injury, the actress continued shooting for two days to fulfill her commitments before the pain became unbearable.
The incident reportedly happened on October 5. On October 10, just an hour before her birthday celebrations, Rakul experienced severe pain and was rushed to the hospital.
The injury caused a severe situation where Rakul Preet Singh’s L4, L5, and S1 nerves became compressed.
Her blood pressure soon dropped, and she broke out in a sweat consequently being helped to lie down and rest.
“It turned out to be quite an eventful birthday, with muscle relaxants and injections administered to her. It’s been five days now, and her recovery is slow but steady. Rakul is someone who constantly pushes her body. Instead of resting, she kept shooting, which led to this drastic outcome. This has been a lesson learned, and hopefully, she’ll recover soon,” a source shared.
Doctors administered muscle relaxant injections, and she is now in recovery, following strict bed rest as prescribed by her medical team.
Rakul, known for regularly sharing her fitness journey and workout videos on social media, often encourages fans to stay fit.
However, she is now focused on her own recovery after this serious incident.
