New Delhi:
Rakul Preet Singh suffered a painful back injury in October, her birthday month. In a recent conversation, the actress opened up about her treatment journey and credited her husband Jackky Bhagnani as her biggest support system. “I am better now. I am recovering day by day, but it is slow progress,” said the actress, who is still not fully recovered. Giving information about the incident, Rakul said, “I lifted a very heavy deadlift of 80 kg on October 5. I felt pain from my tailbone, but I didn’t stop, which was my biggest mistake. I completed my workout and went straight to shooting. By the evening I started having such severe cramps that I couldn’t even wear my clothes because I couldn’t even bend forward. Thinking it to be a cramp, I kept shooting with that pain.
in conversation with Hindustan Times, Rakul Preet Singh shared how she experienced extreme pain while getting ready for her birthday party. She mentioned that the pain “grew so much by the 10th that when I was getting ready for my birthday party, I felt like my lower body had separated from my upper body. I became unconscious due to that pain and my BP decreased. I was put to bed and then I remained in bed for 10 days. No bed rest, I was lying on the bed.” For those unaware, Rakul turned 34 on October 10.
During these challenging times, Rakul Preet Singh’s husband Jackky Bhagnani was a pillar of strength for her. She said, “Jackie had everything decorated, and she said I would get to see it all when I came for the birthday party. But the unfortunate thing was that I could not come up. I got hurt an hour before the birthday, so I never got to see it.
The actress further added, “It is important for a partner to understand what you are going through, not just physically, but for work-busy people like me, it also takes a toll mentally. It was not just for 10 days, but even now I am not 100% fine. There are days when you still think ‘Will I be okay?’ Will I be able to run, run and do everything I was doing before?’ It’s important for a partner to give you space to feel vulnerable. And the best thing about Jackie is that he can make fun of anything. He can handle even the most difficult situations with ease.”
“About 2 weeks ago, I took my first flight, and when I came back, I was really sad and tired. I was very insecure and started crying, and she said, ‘Congratulations, you are now a girl.’ [Congratulations, you have become a girl now],’ in a funny way because I don’t usually cry. When you know that person can make you laugh in any weak moment, that’s important. I am so happy and grateful that I got it from Jackie,” said Rakul Preet Singh.
Lastly, when asked what lesson the injury has taught her, Rakul Preet Singh shared, “It’s a lesson. When I had this cramp, I thought your mind is stronger than your body. I didn’t notice it until my body stopped. So, it’s a lesson that sometimes I have to take it easy.”
“Normally, an injury like this takes about 6 to 8 weeks to heal, so I am in the sixth week now. Hopefully, I will turn 100 in the next two weeks. It is much better now, at least I can move around without pain and do my normal activities. I’m up and running now. I just need to build up more strength and reduce the fatigue, but I’m pretty much okay now,” she concluded.
