Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor has once again reminded her fans why she is one of the most loved actresses in the industry — not just for her on-screen charm, but also for her candid, grounded, and humorous connection with her followers. After reports began circulating about the actress being injured while filming her upcoming movie Eetha, Shraddha finally addressed the news herself through an interactive session with her fans on Instagram.
The actor confirmed that she has suffered a muscle tear in her leg, but assured her supporters that she is recovering and doing her best to remain positive. Shraddha’s playful comment, “Terminator ki tarah ghoom rahi hoon,” quickly went viral, bringing relief and smiles to worried fans.
A Viral Statement and a Relieved Fanbase
On 22 November, the entertainment world buzzed with reports claiming that Shraddha was injured during a dance sequence for her upcoming film Eetha. While neither the production team nor the actress immediately responded, speculation and concern spread quickly across social media platforms.
Finally, Shraddha addressed the situation during an Instagram AMA (Ask Me Anything) session. When a fan asked her about her injury, the actress responded with honesty and humor. In her video message, she said:
“Terminator ki tarah ghoom rahi hoon. Muscle tear hai. Theek ho jaayega. Bas thoda rest karna hai but I’ll be absolutely fine.”
This lighthearted reassurance instantly comforted fans. Along with her message, Shraddha also shared a short clip showing her plastered leg, confirming that she is currently under medical care and rest.
The Injury: What Exactly Happened?
According to reports, the injury occurred during the filming of a high-energy traditional dance sequence for Eetha. A source revealed that Shraddha was performing a Lavani dance routine, which requires exceptional stamina, rhythm, and precision. The number, composed by the renowned musical duo Ajay-Atul, was described as fast-paced and physically demanding.
Shraddha was reportedly dressed in a complete traditional Maharashtrian ensemble, including a Nauvari saree, heavy jewelry, and kamarpatta, portraying a historical character inspired by Vithabai.
The source further explained:
“Lavani music characteristically has fast tempo and sharp, continuous steps. In one of the movements, Shraddha accidentally placed full weight on her left foot, lost balance, and strained her leg.”
Adding to the physical strain, Shraddha has reportedly put on over 15 kilograms for the role to achieve authenticity and match the body language of the character she is portraying.
Shraddha Kapoor’s Dedication: A Role She Calls “Challenging”
During the Instagram interaction, Shraddha also spoke about her experience preparing for Eetha. She confirmed that the film explores the world of start-ups and modern hustle culture, a setting rarely explored in Hindi cinema.
Shraddha shared:
“For me, it’s a new kind of role, and it’s challenging. I’m consciously choosing projects that push me as an actor and give me strong roles to perform.”
Shraddha, who has recently become selective about her film choices, mentioned that she now spends significant time evaluating scripts before saying yes. She wants to play characters that are not just present on screen, but meaningful and impactful.
A Film with Personal Importance
Apart from the excitement surrounding the plot of Eetha, the film holds a deeper emotional connection for Shraddha. The movie is directed by her boyfriend, filmmaker Rahul Mody, who has been gaining recognition for his unconventional cinematic style and storytelling.
While Shraddha did not reveal many behind-the-scenes details, she hinted that the film is close to her heart and reflects a phase in her career where she wants to evolve artistically.
A Secret Film Already Completed?
Shraddha also dropped a surprising hint during the AMA session — she has already finished working on another film, but cannot talk about it yet because the official announcement is still pending.
This revelation has sent fans into speculation mode, with many guessing it could be the much-anticipated sequel to Stree 2, another romantic comedy, or even a brand-new genre experiment.
A Look at Shraddha’s Career Approach
Over the past few years, Shraddha Kapoor has gradually shifted from being seen as a commercial mainstream star to an actor undergoing transformation and reinvention. Movies like Stree, Chhichhore, and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar introduced a more matured, confident, and nuanced version of Shraddha.
Her decision to gain weight for a role — something not many mainstream actresses attempt — also reflects her seriousness toward character building and storytelling.
Fans Pour in Support and Love
As soon as Shraddha posted her injury update, thousands of her admirers left heartfelt comments wishing her a speedy recovery. Hashtags like #GetWellSoonShraddha, #ShraddhaKapoor, and #Eetha began trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
Fans also appreciated her optimistic tone, sense of humor, and transparency — qualities that keep her relatable despite her celebrity status.
What’s Next for Shraddha Kapoor?
For now, Shraddha is expected to take a temporary break to allow her injury to heal. However, she reassured her fans that she will resume work as soon as she recovers.
While speaking about her future plans, she said:
“I am choosing films after thinking deeply. I want to play characters where I am active, aware, and challenged.”
With multiple projects reportedly underway and growing anticipation for Eetha, Shraddha Kapoor’s upcoming phase in Bollywood seems both exciting and transformative.
