In a display of grit and determination that is nothing short of inspirational, actress Rakul Preet Singh recently revealed how she battled a serious spinal injury and still completed her film alongside superstar Ajay Devgn. The incident adds a powerful behind-the-scenes layer to the movie’s success and spotlights the physical and mental toll sometimes hidden from view.
Rakul explained that halfway through the shoot of her film, she suffered a spinal injury so severe that she was bedridden for a full 40 days. She described how she could not even sit normally for an extended period after the injury, and the thought of whether she would walk or stand properly again haunted her. The break forced the production to pause for months, yet once filming resumed, the real struggle only began.
What makes her comeback even more remarkable is how she managed to shoot major sequences while still recovering. One of the most talked-about scenes is the highway sequence, where Rakul said her “bed was literally on the highway” during filming. She would lie down, stand up for the shot, then immediately return to rest until the next take. Despite the physical constraints and pain, she kept showing up, camera-ready and costume-fitted, delivering her character with poise.
The film’s success both in box-office numbers and audience appreciation now carries the weight of this personal journey. Rakul’s courage under pressure and refusal to give up have earned admiration from colleagues, critics and fans alike. For Devgn and the rest of the cast, the revelation adds a new dimension of respect for their co-star’s professionalism.
Rakul says that the injury changed her perspective on work and life, reminding her of how quickly strength and health can be taken for granted. She vowed that from here on, she will prioritise well-being alongside ambition. Her next projects are now highly anticipated, and the industry will be watching how she carries forward this inspiration into her future roles. This story serves not only as entertainment news but as a reminder that behind every glossy film-set image lies personal sacrifices, untold pain and sheer human resolve. Rakul’s story shows the power of perseverance, and how art often demands more than what meets the eye.
