Rashmika Mandanna breaks silence on her painful hip tendon injury
Explaining why she had been missing from social media, Rashmika revealed that she has been dealing with her third consecutive injury and admitted that the latest one has been particularly challenging.“Hie guyssss. Injuries suck, and I was really hoping that no one would get to know.. but well. Sorry I’ve been MIA but hieeee! I’m hereeee! It happened awhile ago ya and this is my 3rd injury back to back. I should definitely learn to treat my body like a human body and not some machine,” she wrote.The actress then gave fans a detailed explanation of what exactly happened during the shoot.“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,” Rashmika shared.Her revelation immediately drew concern from fans, with many wishing her a speedy recovery in the comments section.
‘Maybe God wanted me to take a break’
Despite the setback, Rashmika chose to look at the brighter side of the situation. The actress joked that perhaps it was God’s way of forcing her to slow down after months of non-stop work.“So ya that’s that.. and I feel like this is god saying you’ll never take a break if it’s left to you so here.. let me do it for you. 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,” she wrote.The actress added that she has been keeping herself occupied by solving puzzles and spending time at home. She also humorously confessed that staying away from workouts has made resisting desserts much harder.“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 a while and if I can’t workout then what do I doooo.. I eat.. and I become a dessert monster,” she added.She ended her note by reassuring fans that she is recovering well and promised to keep them updated.
