Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia hurt in deadlift, urges recovery focus

Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia suffered a severe back spasm while doing a deadlift, an injury she says has forced her to rethink recovery. The actor was fatigued and underslept when she attempted the heavy lift. She felt a sudden pull in her lower back and was in acute pain. Doctors ruled out a fracture or slipped disc, but the spasm was severe enough to require complete bed rest for the first week.

Hindustan Times reports that the injury also involved her left lat muscle, which she had torn during Khatron Ke Khiladi two years ago. Bollywood Hungama quotes Ahluwalia saying the experience taught her that pushing limits must be balanced with rest. The actor has now cautiously returned to light mobility training. She cancelled two work trips and said the biggest lesson was to prioritise recovery as much as training.
