Apologizing for her absence from social media, Rashmika admitted that she had initially hoped to keep the injury private but eventually decided to update her fans.

"Injuries suck... I was really hoping that no one would get to know, but well... Sorry I've been MIA, but I'm here!" she wrote.

The actress revealed that this is her third injury in a row, prompting her to realize that she needs to take better care of her body.

"I should definitely learn to treat my body like a human body and not some machine," she said with her trademark sense of humor.

Explaining the nature of the injury, Rashmika said that one of the tendons connecting her right hip to her leg had become detached during the shooting of an energetic dance sequence for her upcoming film Mysaa.

According to the actress, the detached tendon needs time to heal and reattach before she can regain normal movement in her leg.

"One of those tendons on my right hip apparently had detached, and that has to attach again for me to be able to lift my leg," she explained.

Despite the seriousness of the injury, Rashmika assured her fans that the pain is manageable and that she remains optimistic about her recovery.

"Don't worry... it hurts, but it's not unbearable," she added.

The actress also joked that perhaps the injury was the universe's way of forcing her to take a much-needed break.

"I feel like this is God saying you'll never take a break if it's left to you, so here... let me do it for you!" she wrote.

Known for her disciplined fitness routine, Rashmika admitted that one of her biggest concerns during recovery is staying away from workouts. She revealed that she usually exercises intensely and runs regularly to stay fit, but her injury has temporarily brought those activities to a halt.

With exercise off the table for now, Rashmika joked that she has transformed into a "dessert monster" and is trying hard not to gain weight while recovering.

The actress also shared that she has been spending her recovery period solving puzzles and discovering a new hobby she never knew she enjoyed.

Fans flooded social media with messages of love and support after reading her update, wishing her a speedy recovery and encouraging her to focus on healing before returning to work.

Rashmika concluded her message by thanking her fans for their concern and promising to keep them updated about her recovery.

"Love ya! Don't worry, okay... Biggest loves and kisses and hugs!"

With multiple highly anticipated projects in her lineup, fans will now eagerly await Rashmika Mandanna's return to the sets once she has fully recovered.
