Actor Aayush Sharma revealed that he was experiencing constant back pain for some time, but he chose to ignore it. However, things got worse recently and he had to undergo not one, but two surgeries.
This latest IG post read, "Life has its way of slowing you down to make sure you listen. For the last couple of years, I had been experiencing consistent pain in my back it started while pulling off a stunt during the action scene in Ruslaan — nothing too dramatic, so I did what most of us tend to do… ignored it, masked it, and kept going. It finally caught up with me while shooting for my current movie, and things took a turn. Movements that once felt like second nature — dancing, stunts, even the simplest stretches — became restricted. What I thought was temporary turned out to be far more serious."
He called taking the pain lightly his biggest mistake.
