Actor Rashmika Mandanna on Monday provided an update on her recovery from a hip injury, saying she is set to resume work soon but will miss the quieter pace of life she adopted during convalescence. The 30-year-old sustained the injury while filming a dance sequence for the forthcoming film Mysaa, and earlier described the problem as a detachment of one of the tendons around the hip on her right side.
Details of the injury and recovery
Mandanna has publicly explained that the injury involved one of the four tendons on each side of the hip that link the hip to the leg, and that the affected tendon on the right side had detached and needed time to reattach and heal before she could resume full activity, including lifting her leg freely. She first made headlines about the incident in July and on 3 August addressed the matter directly on social media, describing the medical nature of the setback.
“I am getting back to work soon, and I am definitely going to miss all of this!”
In her most recent social media post, the actor shared scenes from her recovery period—prayers, time with her dog, picture puzzles and quiet moments in the garden—saying she had used the forced break to slow down. She also indicated the break had curtailed her usual exercise routine, which she found difficult given her accustomed fitness levels.
Context and implications
Tendon injuries around the hip often require a period of rest, physiotherapy and graded return to activity; the timeline depends on severity and the tendon involved. Mandanna’s description implies a non-acute, soft-tissue detachment that was managed conservatively with time and rehabilitation rather than immediate major surgery, though she has not detailed specific treatments in public statements.
Public figures recovering from musculoskeletal injuries frequently follow multidisciplinary care, including consultation with orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapists, progressive strengthening and mobility work, and activity modification. Medical authorities such as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and international organisations advise patients to follow their treating physician’s guidance for rehabilitation and to avoid rushing back to strenuous activity without clinical clearance.

Mandanna characterised the interval away from work as a “forced holiday”, noting she used the time for rest and low-key pursuits. She also acknowledged the psychological challenge of restricted physical activity when one is used to regular workouts.
For readers experiencing similar symptoms—hip pain, reduced range of motion, or unexplained weakness around the hip joint—health authorities recommend seeking evaluation from a qualified orthopaedic specialist. Imaging and clinical examination are commonly used to assess tendon injuries; treatment can range from physiotherapy and relative rest to surgical repair in selected cases, based on the clinician’s assessment.
The actor did not disclose the specific clinical interventions she received, such as imaging results, medications, injections or details of physiotherapy sessions, and there is no public indication she underwent major surgery. She confirmed, however, that rehabilitation has progressed to a point where she anticipates returning to professional commitments shortly.
