Raashii Khanna opens up about falling sick during shoot of Akshay Kumar's upcoming comedy
Mumbai, July 9
Actress Raashii Khanna has opened up about a challenging experience she faced while shooting for Akshay Kumar's upcoming comedy film.
The actress revealed that she fell sick in the middle of the shoot but continued to be part of the project despite the difficult circumstances. Sharing details about the experience, Raashii revealed that while filming action sequences, she suffered a few bruises during the process. She admitted that it was not the easiest schedule she had worked on.
However, the 'Madras Café' actress said the love and support she received from her co-stars, family, and the film's crew helped her get through those challenging moments. Raashii added that small gestures, like a hug from her nephew, a call from her family, or the team checking on her well-being, made the tough days feel much easier and brighter.
Sharing photos on Instagram, the 'Yodha' actress wrote, "I've always believed that every schedule teaches you something, and this one reminded me how much strength comes from the people around you.
Falling sick in the middle of a shoot is never ideal, and there were moments when I genuinely had to push myself physically. But then you'd get a hug from your nephew, a call from family, or everyone from the unit asking if you were okay, and suddenly the day would feel lighter."
"We were shooting action, I picked up a few bruises along the way and it wasn't the easiest schedule I've done but it was one filled with compassion. When I think about wrapping this leg of the film, I don't think about the fatigue but about the gratitude. Those are the memories that stay with you forever, long after the cameras stop rolling."
Raashii Khanna has wrapped up filming for Anees Bazmee's upcoming comedy, which stars Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan in lead roles. The untitled comedy marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan after 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' and also brings Bazmee back together with Akshay after several years. The film also features Sudesh Lehri, Zakir Hussain, and Vijay Raaz in key roles.

It's nice to see her focusing on the positive—gratitude instead of complaints. The mention of her nephew's hug is so wholesome. In Bollywood, where there's often so much negativity, this kind of openness about vulnerability and support is refreshing. Looking forward to seeing the film!
Good for her, but let's be honest—was sharing this necessary? It sounds like she's trying to milk sympathy for doing her job. Many people work while sick without making Instagram posts about it. I wish she'd focus on the film's comedy rather than her personal struggles. Just my two paise. 🤷♂️
Raashii Khanna is such a talented actress! From 'Madras Café' to 'Yodha', she's consistently impressed me. The fact that she kept working despite being sick shows her passion. Also, Anees Bazmee + Akshay + Vidya Balan combo is pure comedy gold. Can't wait for this reunion after 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa'! 🎬🔥
What a sweet perspective! In our Indian culture, family and close connections are everything—her mentioning calls from family and hugs from her nephew really resonates. It's not just about the film; it's about people caring for each other. Hope she recovers fully! 💪
I admire Raashii's honesty about pushing through physical challenges. Bruises and sickness are part of action films, yet many actors don't talk about it. Her gratitude toward the crew is a class act. That said, I hope the comedy delivers—Akshay's recent films have been
