Mumbai, Aug 5

Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who recently suffered an injury to her hip bone, shared her recovery routine with her Insta family through her latest update on social media.

The 'Animal' actress revealed that as she is stuck at home, waiting to get better, her day includes a lot of sleeping, eating, doing puzzles, reading, and playing with her furry friend Aura.

As her latest 'Dear Dairy' entry on Instagram, Rashmika wrote, "Dear Diary. Hmmm.. where do I even start? My days are going well.. with a lot of sleeping and recovery, puzzles and some reading and watching some shows doing some very much needed hair care and skin care.. and meetings and spending time with family!! (sic)"

'The Girlfriend' actress further wrote, "Going through the wedding photos and videos cz I hadn't gotten the proper time till now.. My routine is pretty much *wake up, and no more to alarms (yaaay) just wake up when my body tells me to.. *eat 2 meals a day to really really try and not go overboard with the eating *meetings *puzzles or reading with Aura when she's able to..*watch a show *and then go to bed.. It's actually not all that bad to slow down once in a while is it!"

On Monday, Rashmika shared the detailed nature of her injury with another social media post.

The 'Pushpa' actress penned, "But well umm the injury is basically.. ummm how do I explain it.. (make way for the biology teacher) so there are 4 tendons on each side of your hip that connects your hip to your leg and one of those tendons on my right hip apparently had detached and that has to attach again, for me to be able to lift my leg up and stuff and this happened during my dance shoot for 'Mysaa'. My god that's the most aggressive film I've ever done for sure. But don't worry.. it hurts but it's not unbearable or something".

The biology explanation was actually helpful! I never knew tendons work like that. Also, "Mysaa" must be really intense if it caused this injury. Hope she recovers fully before the next shoot. Take care, Rashmika!

This is so relatable honestly. The whole "wake up when my body tells me to" vibe is goals. But also slightly concerning - she's clearly pushing herself too hard with these intense dance shoots. Bollywood needs to prioritize actor safety more. Get well soon! 🙏

Interesting how she mentioned going through wedding photos - was she at a family wedding recently? Anyway, this downtime seems well-deserved. Animal, Pushpa, now Mysaa - she's been on a roll. Rest is important, especially for dancers who put their bodies through so much.

Honestly, this is such a healthy attitude towards recovery. No drama, no panic, just acceptance and self-care. The "dear diary" format is cute too. Aura is definitely loving having her human at home all day! Hope she heals quickly, we need her back on screen soon! ✨

As someone who's had tendon issues from sports, I totally get this. The recovery is slow and boring, but it's essential. Good on her for being transparent about it - it helps normalise taking proper time to heal, especially in an industry that often pushes people to work through injuries.
