The adrenaline rush of action sequences may look effortless on screen, but for Priyanshu Painyuli, the behind-the-scenes reality involved physical strain, injury, and an eventual surgical intervention that changed everything.
“I was shooting for Paan Parda Zarda, which is an action series. The prep and shoot stretched over a long period. Naturally, you cut down on carbs, increase your protein intake. I had a fitness coach. But when you push for too long, it takes a toll and I had intense pain in my abdomen,” he shares.
The strain compounded when he began training for a period drama. “I was doing Mixed Martial Arts [MMA], horse riding, archery as I was playing a warrior. I think I stopped listening to my body. I wasn’t taking breaks, and then I crashed. My pain was unbearable and it turned out to be hernia. My doctor operated on what we thought was a single hernia, but during surgery, they found three more.”
