Mumbai: Actress Rashmika Mandanna has opened up about the hip injury she sustained while shooting for her upcoming action thriller Mysaa, ending days of speculation surrounding her absence from social media.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, the actress shared an update on her health, revealing that she suffered a detached tendon in her right hip during a dance sequence for the film. Despite the injury, Rashmika reassured her fans that she is recovering well and remains optimistic.

‘This Is My Third Injury Back-to-Back’

Sharing candid glimpses from her recovery at home, including selfies, time with her pet dogs, puzzles and gifts from loved ones, Rashmika admitted that the recent injury has forced her to slow down.“Injuries suck… I was really hoping that no one would get to know. This is my third injury back-to-back. I should definitely learn to treat my body like a human body and not some machine,” she wrote.

The actress explained that one of the tendons connecting her right hip to her leg had detached, making it difficult to lift her leg until it heals completely.

‘Mysaa Is the Most Aggressive Film I’ve Ever Done’

Rashmika revealed that the injury occurred while filming a dance sequence for Mysaa, calling the project the most physically demanding film of her career.“One of the tendons on my right hip had detached, and it has to attach again for me to be able to lift my leg. This happened during my dance shoot for Mysaa. My God, that’s the most aggressive film I’ve ever done for sure!” she shared.

While acknowledging the pain, the actress assured fans that the injury is manageable and that she is focusing on recovery.

Forced Break from Workouts

The actress also admitted that being unable to exercise has been one of the biggest challenges during her recovery.

Known for maintaining a disciplined fitness routine, Rashmika joked that without workouts she has become a “dessert monster”, as she now spends more time enjoying sweets while recovering.
