Rajesh Sharma Health Update: Bollywood actor Rajesh Sharma is hospitalised as he battles a severe leg infection following an insect bite. The incident occured on the sets of Prabhas' upcoming movie Fauji.
On Friday, Sharma's close family friend and actor Sudipa Chatterjee has shared a crucial update on his condition.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Sudipa Chatterjee said, "He’s a little better now. It’s an unknown insect bite, and tests are being done, and his condition is being monitored. So treatment is on, and in the last two days he has been much better."
Chatterjee further added, "Rajesh ji's mum is very old, and his sister was abroad, so he is our family friend. When we got to know about this, we rushed to the hospital, and that’s when I also gave an earlier statement."
"After he came back from Hyderabad and was home, he had fever. Unhone socha bukhar hain and mosquito bite ho sakta, toh chalo ghar. (He thought he had a fever, or it could be a mosquito bite, so let's go home) After he felt uncomfortable, he went to the nearby hospital, where he was admitted," Sudipa Chatterjee explained.
Actor Rajesh Sharma was recently hospitalised in Kolkata after suffering an insect bite while shooting for Prabhas' upcoming movie Fauji. The Bhooth Bangla actor is under close medical observation and doctors have not yet declared him out of danger.
If the reports are to be believed, Sharma's breathlessness is now under control and his blood sugar levels have also stabilised. According to a report in News18, Rajesh Sharma reportedly felt an insect bite on his leg after the day’s shoot.
This came to his notice when he was speaking to technicians in a vegetated area at Ramoji Film City.
