Speaking to ANI, Rashmika shared about how tough it really was. The actress recalled that even though her doctors strictly urged her to takea long rest, she was up on her feet in barely a month. She said, "The doctors had told me three months of bed rest, but I was up and moving around for Chhaava promotions in like 30 days," she said. She also added how her doctors were "really pissed" at her stubbornness.
"I was in so much pain, I can't even begin to tell you because the doctors had told me three months of bed rest, but I was up and moving around for Chhaava promotions in like 30 days. The doctors were really pissed, and today, when I look at my foot, the shape has changed. But I remember being in so much pain, and I had to shoot the song in that pain as well. We had to shoot the song at the same time," she added.
However, she says the pain feels worth it after seeing people enjoying the film, "...today, when people are enjoying it, I feel really, really happy. And that's why I keep saying I feel at peace, because, despite all of that, at the end of the day, what matters is the love that people give, and the happy faces on people's faces. That's what it's all about."
