Aayush Sharma’s Back Injury On Ruslaan Set Leads to Two Surgeries : ‘Ignoring The Pain Was My Biggest Mistake’

Actor Aayush Sharma recently spoke about developing a serious back injury during the shooting of an action sequence in his film Ruslaan. Something that felt like normal soreness at first turned out to be something much more serious.

The actor disclosed that not heeding the pain was a costly blunder that resulted in not one, but two surgeries.

In an emotive Instagram post, Sharma revealed that the agony started during a physically challenging stunt, but he dismissed it, thinking that it would heal on its own. 

However, the pain persisted over time, becoming so severe that it hindered his ability to perform even simple actions, such as dancing, and manage basic tasks during the movie’s promotional activities.

“The biggest mistake that I made was neglecting the pain and waiting for it to cure by itself,” he confesses.

A Change in Mindset on Health

The ordeal compelled the actor to rethink his perception of wellness and fitness. “I used to think that good health was having a six-pack or being able to lift heavy weights.

But now I realize it’s all about how your body feels from inside,” he posted, calling on others to heed their bodies and respond in advance when anything does not feel right.

Family Support and a Son’s Support

During his recuperation, Sharma attributed his recovery to his wife, Arpita Khan Sharma, and his children, Ahil and Ayat, being his strongest support system.

He mentioned a heartwarming incident when his son informed him, “Papa, you heal fast… I need my Wolverine back,” a dialogue that touched his heart and spurred his recuperation. 

Gratitude to the Medical Team and Film Crew

Aayush also expressed sincere appreciation for the doctors and his Ruslaan crew, who stood by him during the difficult phase and adjusted filming schedules as needed.

Their patience, he said, played a key role in his healing process.
