Rakul Preet Singh shares update on her back injury, says, "life is very uncertain"

Rakul Preet Singh is still recovering from her back injury

Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh, who is gearing up for her film De De Pyaar De 2, faced a major setback in her career last year after she injured her back during an 80 kg deadlift. The actress has since returned to work but is still recovering from the injury.

However, Rakul Preet has learned a lot from her setback and admitted that she is still not at her ‘optimal’. The actress recently attended the Magnum Lounge at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week in collaboration with FDCI on Saturday, March 29.

During the session, she shared her health update with ANI. She said, “The injury really did do a setback. I feel like it’s been 4 months, and I’m still not at my optimal yet. I still need to be very careful with a lot of things, but every day is better.”

She added, “I think what it teaches you is sometimes to slow down because you think everything is happening according to you, and you set a time for things, and then something like this happens.”

Rakul Preet further noted, “I remember that within the first week, I surrendered. I was like, OK, it’s going to take its own time, and I have to be OK with letting go of certain things, letting go of certain work commitments, and then I bounced back stronger and completed the shoot of my film.”

She continued, “Every day was a task to sail through, but then I think it just reiterates the fact that life is very uncertain.”

Rakul also said we should appreciate small things in life, like tying our shoes or enjoying coffee in bed. She shared that her injury happened during a workout, not because of her diet. Rakul emphasized the importance of listening to our bodies and taking care of ourselves.

She admitted that she ignored her body's pain signals and worked through the pain, which made things worse. She advised finding balance and taking good care of ourselves.

On the professional front, Rakul Preet Singh was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi, alongside Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar. However, she will next star in Indian 3 and De De Pyaar De 2. Additionally, the actress is also rumored to star as Shurpanakha in the upcoming epic saga, Ramayana.
