Actor Rashmika Mandanna recently sustained a leg injury at her gym. Her fans got to know about it when she shared a health update on social media. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, she posted pictures of herself and apologized to the directors of her upcoming films for the delay, while assuring them that she would be back soon.

In the pictures, Mandanna is seen seated on a chair, posing for the camera with her injured leg propped up. In the caption, she wrote, “Well… happy New Year to me I guess! Injured myself in my sacred gym shrine. Now I’m in ‘hop mode’ for the next few weeks or months or god only knows, so seems like I’ll be hopping my way back to sets for Thama, Sikandar, and Kubera! (sic)”

She added, “To my directors, sorry for the delay…I’ll be back soon enough just making sure my legs are fit for action (or at least fit for hopping). In the meantime, if you need me…I’ll be the one in the corner doing a highly advanced bunny hop workout. HOP HOP HOP…(sic).”

A source close to the 28-year-old told HT, “Rashmika recently sustained an injury in the gym and has been recovering well. However, it has temporarily halted the filming of her upcoming projects. But she’s already feeling much better and will resume work very soon.”
