Rakul Preet Singh suffered a spine injury in 2024 after deadlifting 80 kg during her workout session and was advised to take a two-month-long break. Talking about the injury, the actress shared that after 2 months, she was able to do one proper shoot in December, stating how the injury set her back emotionally.
Rakul shared that her recovery journey was focused on performing the song Gori Hai Kalaiyan from her upcoming film Mere Husband Ki Biwi, as she was aware that the film's release was approaching. "Within the first week, I sort of surrendered, and I said, okay. This is a lesson, and this is a learning for me. And I'm gonna make a spine of steel, and this is my resolution for 2025," she told Bollywood Hungama.
Rakul shared that her entire December was spent doing aqua therapy. Thanking her choreographers, she said that they had given her the dance steps beforehand, which made it easier for her to warm up.
She added, "I was doing all the steps in the water, and my physios checked if there were any triggers. And if they're comfortable in water after doing it a hundred times and there are no triggers, then that step is something, or those movements are something and those angles are something that I can do."
The 34-year-old actress shared that she could barely stand for a minute and was unable to get up from her bed during the initial stages of her recovery. She added, "I couldn't sit for even a minute and my rehab began at that point. We were on mid-November and mid-Jan is when I had to shoot the song. So I exactly had eight weeks to be able to do everything."
