"Perhaps God Wanted Me to Rest": Rashmika Mandanna Opens Up About Her Frustrating Hip Injury
Pan-India star Rashmika Mandanna has officially broken her silence after news broke regarding a severe injury she sustained on a film set. Taking to Instagram, the hardworking actress shared a candid, emotional message addressing her health condition, the exact nature of the injury, and the frustration of having her busy schedule abruptly paused.
Following medical evaluation, doctors diagnosed her with a torn hip tendon—sustained while shooting a high-energy dance sequence for her upcoming film Mysaa—and prescribed six weeks of mandatory bed rest.
"This is the Third Time": Rashmika Shares Her Frustration
In an honest note to her fans and well-wishers, Rashmika admitted she initially wanted to keep the health setback private:
"Getting injured is extremely frustrating for me. I really didn't want anyone to know about this, but it eventually came out. This is actually the third time I've suffered an injury of this nature. There are four tendons on each side connecting the hip to the leg, and one of the tendons in my right hip has been torn. For me to lift my leg normally again, it has to heal completely.
The accident happened while filming a dance routine for Mysaa. Out of all the projects I’m currently doing, Mysaa has been the most physically demanding. In a way, I feel perhaps God wanted me to finally slow down and take some rest, which is why this happened."

Known as one of Indian cinema's busiest stars, Rashmika is currently juggling four major feature films—including Ranabaali and Mysaa—alongside endorsement commitments for nearly 30 top brands.
With her medical team emphasizing that total rest and physical therapy are essential to prevent permanent damage, filming schedules and commercial shoots across her lineup have been temporarily put on hold.
Fans and movie lovers across the nation continue to flood her social media channels with messages of love, wishing the 'National Crush' a smooth recovery and a strong return to the silver screen.
