Rakul Preet Singh suffered a back injury last year during an 80 kg deadlift. Though she is now recuperating and back to work, the actor admitted that she isn’t at her optimal yet. She further added that her injury taught her to slow down and let go of things that were beyond her control.
The De De Pyaar De actor attended the Magnum Lounge at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week in collaboration with FDCI on Saturday, March 29. There, she shared her health update. “The injury really did do a setback. I feel like it’s been 4 months, and I’m still not at my optimal yet. I still need to be very careful with a lot of things, but every day is better. I think what it teaches you is sometimes to slow down because you think everything is happening according to you, and you set a time for things, and then something like this happens," she told ANI.

“I remember that within the first week, I surrendered. I was like, OK, it’s going to take its own time, and I have to be OK with letting go of certain things, letting go of certain work commitments, and then I bounced back stronger and completed the shoot of my film. Every day was a task to sail through, but then I think it just reiterates the fact that life is very uncertain," she further added.
Rakul also said that one needs to be grateful for the smaller things in life, such as tying shoelaces or just sitting on bed for coffee.
Discussing her injury, she revealed that her injury was a workout mishap and not her diet that led to the issue. Rakul emphasised that everyone should listen to their body, mentioning that her body had been signaling pain for five days. However, since she was shooting, she didn’t feel justified in cancelling work over back pain. Instead, she took painkillers and continued working. She added that maintaining a balance in everything was important and advised nourishing oneself well.
On the work front, Rakul Preet Singh will be next seen in Indian 3 and De De Pyaar De 2.
