Rakul Preet Singh Suffers Back Injury During 80kg Deadlift, Currently on Bed Rest

Bollywood actor Rakul Preet Singh has been bedridden for six days after suffering a serious back spasm while performing an 80 kg deadlift without a belt. The injury occurred during her workout session on October 5th, and despite experiencing significant pain, Rakul continued to fulfill her professional commitments, resulting in a worsening of her condition.

Rakul’s team had previously informed that “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 shooting for her upcoming film De De Pyaar De 2 by taking muscle relaxants to manage the pain. She shot for two consecutive days before seeking medical attention.

After three days of enduring the discomfort, she consulted physiotherapists, but the relief was short-lived as the pain would resurface within hours. Her condition eventually worsened, affecting her L4, L5, and S1 nerves, causing significant trauma to her body. Her blood pressure dropped, and she experienced severe symptoms, including sweating and fatigue. Her team noted, “Was quite an eventful birthday with muscle relaxants and injections given to her. It’s been five days now since she's recovering and it's a slow and steady process.”

In an Instagram story update, Rakul addressed her fans directly from her bed, 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. 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.”

The actor’s team has emphasized that Rakul is someone who tends to push her body to its limits, and her decision to continue working despite the injury exacerbated her condition. They added, “But this is a lesson learnt and hopefully she will recover soon.”

Rakul Preet Singh is currently focusing on her recovery, and her fans and well-wishers are eagerly awaiting her return.
