Rakul Preet Singh recently sustained a severe back injury while working out at the gym. She was reportedly attempting an 80 kg deadlift without any support, which resulted in back spasms. Recently, the actress took to her Instagram handle to provide a health update to her fans and talk about how she has been dealing with the injury.
In a candid post, Rakul expressed her frustration over the incident, describing it as a “stupid” mistake. She admitted that her determination to push herself had consequences, resulting in a severe injury.
Rakul went on to say, “I have been on the bed for the last six days. I think it will take another week or say 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.”
She also took the opportunity to advise her followers to listen to their bodies, especially when they send warning signals. She opened up about the importance of not overexerting oneself, as it can lead to harm.
