Aayush Sharma Shares Recovery Journey After Undergoing Two Back Surgeries
Mumbai– Actor Aayush Sharma has opened up about undergoing two back surgeries after years of ignoring persistent pain.
In a candid Instagram post, Sharma revealed the pain began during a stunt on the set of Ruslaan but was initially brushed off. “Like many, I masked it and kept going,” he wrote. “But it caught up with me during my current film shoot—suddenly, simple movements, dancing, and stunts became difficult. What I thought was temporary turned out to be serious.”
Now recovering after two surgeries, Sharma expressed gratitude and a renewed perspective on health. “Good health isn’t just about six-pack abs. It’s about listening to your body before it’s too late,” he wrote.
He thanked his doctors, producer Sajid Qureshi, director Kiran Korrapati, and his family—especially wife Arpita and kids Ahil and Ayat—for their support during his recovery. He also shared a touching moment with his son: “Ahil told me, ‘Papa, you heal fast… I need my Wolverine back.’ I’m coming back stronger—for him, for myself, for all of it.”
Diljit Dosanjh’s English Clip Fuels Sardaar Ji 3 Controversy
Mumbai– Amid backlash over his upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3, a video of Diljit Dosanjh speaking fluent English has reignited online criticism, with some accusing the star of being inauthentic.
The resurfaced clip, originally shared two weeks ago, shows Diljit in conversation with Grammy President Harvey Mason Jr. While initially praised for representing Indian talent on a global stage, the video is now drawing fresh scrutiny. One Reddit user wrote, “When the Grammy President calls, you can’t pretend not to know English anymore,” while others labeled him “fake.”
The timing of the renewed outrage coincides with growing controversy over the film’s casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. Her presence in the trailer drew sharp criticism, especially after recent India-Pakistan tensions, including the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s subsequent Operation Sindoor.
The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) condemned Hania’s inclusion, with its president Suresh Shyamlal Gupta calling for a nationwide boycott of Sardaar Ji 3 and urging industry professionals to cut ties with Dosanjh.
The film and its lead star now face mounting pressure, with both political and public sentiment turning volatile in the days leading up to its release.
