"By evening, I had a very terrible spasm that I couldn't even wear my own clothes as I couldn't bend forward. Thinking of it as a spasm, I kept shooting with that pain and it aggravated so much by the 10th that as I was getting ready for my birthday party, I felt like my lower body detached from my upper body. I fainted with that pain and my BP dropped. I was put on bed and then I was on bed for 10 days. Not bed rest, I was bedridden," she told the publication.

Rakul recalled that her husband Jackky Bhagnani planned a special sundowner birthday party for her but she could never see it. The producer had decorated everything and told his wife that she would be able to see it. "But the unfortunate thing was, I couldn't come up. I had my injury an hour before the birthday, so I could never see it," revealed Rakul.

What did Rakul learn from this incident?

In the same conversation, Rakul spoke about a lesson she learned from this incident. When she had the spasm, the actress thought that one's mind is stronger than the body. And that's why she continued her workout until her body stopped. "So, it’s a lesson learned that sometimes I just got to go easy sometimes," said Singh.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Rakul was last seen in Indian 2.
