<\/p>\nRakul Preet Singh has opened up about one of the most challenging periods of her life, revealing how a gym injury led to weeks of physical pain and emotional distress.

Rakul Preet Singh calls deadlift the \u201cworst exercise\u201d after slip disc ordeal: \u201cIt\u2019s an ego lift\u201d<\/p>\n
During the conversation, Rakul recalled suffering a serious lower back injury while performing an 80 kg deadlift. The actor admitted that skipping a safety precaution during her workout proved costly. \u201cNo matter what your trainer tells you, deadlift is the worst exercise to do. It\u2019s an ego lift,\u201d Rakul said.<\/p>\n
She explained that she had always worn a safety belt while performing the exercise but chose not to on that particular day. \u201cThat one mistake caused me a slip disc and 40 days of bed rest,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n
The injury not only affected her physically but also took a toll on her mental well-being. Rakul spoke candidly about the emotional challenges that came with suddenly losing her mobility and independence. \u201cIt was not only a physical injury, it was affecting me mentally too. It was a mental mess up because I was going through a physical turmoil. Suddenly, I was not able to do anything, and that really triggers you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The actor also highlighted the importance of having a strong support system during difficult times. Rakul credited Jackky Bhagnani for standing by her throughout the recovery process. \u201cIt\u2019s very important that your partner supports you at that point, and that was Jackky\u2019s biggest contribution when I was injured. He was there for me,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n
Reports of Rakul\u2019s injury had surfaced earlier when she reportedly suffered trauma to her lower back while lifting 80 kilograms without protective support. The injury is said to have affected her nerves. Despite experiencing significant pain, she continued fulfilling professional commitments with the help of medication before eventually being advised to take complete rest.<\/p>\n
The upcoming episode of Double Date offers viewers a glimpse into the couple\u2019s personal journey and the challenges they navigated together. Beyond discussing their relationship, the episode also sheds light on the physical and emotional resilience required during recovery from a major injury.<\/p>\n
Double Date streams every Thursday on Neha Dhupia\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
