You know all these injuries I've had is random af - freak accidents [?] what are the odds. Forced holiday - but hey not complaining at all! I've been doing a lot of puzzles - had no idea I were this good with them.. Really really trying not to put on weight cz well I workout and run like a beast which keeps me in a decent shape and now I won't be able to workout or run for awhile and if I can't workout then what do I doooo..

The way she explained the injury like a biology teacher was so cute 😂 But jokes aside, three injuries back to back is serious. The film industry needs to give actors proper breaks between shoots. This hustle culture is getting out of hand.
As someone who's dealt with a similar tendon injury from sports, I can relate completely. The recovery process takes time and patience. Wishing her a speedy recovery. It's good that she's being transparent about it - many celebrities hide their injuries.
The dessert monster comment is such a mood 😂 But seriously, it's concerning how actors are expected to maintain impossible standards of fitness while doing intense stunts and dance sequences. I hope her production houses consider her health first. Stay strong Rashmika!
It's refreshing to see a celebrity talk about injuries so openly instead of hiding it. The pressure on Indian actors is immense - multiple films, endorsements, appearances. I just wish the industry would prioritize health over schedules. Get well soon Rashmika! 💕
"Treating my body like a machine" - this hits home for so many of us. We need to normalize taking breaks. Also love how she's keeping it real about the weight gain concern. Wishing her a smooth recovery and looking forward to seeing her back on screen! 🌸
