Rashmika Mandanna recently shared a heartfelt update about her foot injury, revealing that she has suffered three fractures and a muscle tear. Despite this, the actress has been bravely continuing her work commitments, including attending the trailer launch of Chhaava in Mumbai.
On January 12, Rashmika injured her foot while working out at the gym. She posted a light-hearted message on social media, humorously referring to her injury as a "happy New Year" moment. However, she has since been in recovery, using a wheelchair and crutches while attending events.
At the Chhaava trailer launch, Rashmika was seen limping, with her co-star Vicky Kaushal offering her support. She shared videos and pictures on Instagram, showing her getting ready for the event and revealing her medical report and X-ray, which showed the severity of her injury.

In one post, Rashmika wrote, "My life currently... Promoting Chhaava. I felt so honoured, blessed, and grateful to have played Maharani Yesubai. She wouldn’t show her pain to her people and neither will I. Smiling through it all as always." She added that despite the pain, she is determined to keep going, just like her character.
Rashmika also shared a picture of her foot with three fractures and a muscle tear, noting that while her cast looked cute on the outside, the inside was much more serious. She mentioned how she missed standing on her feet, saying, "Haven’t put my foot down in 2 weeks – I really do miss just standing on my own two feet." Her fans and colleagues, including Thama co-star Ayushmann Khurrana, expressed their support in the comments section, wishing her a speedy recovery.
Despite her injury, Rashmika continues to be a trooper, attending events and promoting her upcoming projects. After Pushpa 2: The Rule, she will star in Chhaava, a period drama set to release on February 14. In the film, she plays Maharani Yesubai, the wife of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal.
