Rakul revealed that one decision during a workout session led to one of the toughest phases of her life. The actress suffered a serious lower back injury after attempting an 80 kg deadlift without wearing a support belt, something she usually never skips during heavy lifting sessions.

"No matter what your trainer tells you, deadlift is the worst exercise to do. It's an ego lift," she said while sharing her experience on the show.
According to the actress, she had always been cautious while training. However, on that particular day, she decided to perform the lift without the safety belt she typically relies on. That one decision proved costly. "That one mistake caused me a slip disc and 40 days of bed rest," Rakul revealed.

More than just a physical injury
While the injury brought intense physical pain and restricted movement, Rakul admitted the emotional impact was equally difficult to deal with. Accustomed to a busy lifestyle filled with work, workouts and independence, she suddenly found herself unable to perform even basic everyday tasks on her own.
