Rajesh Sharma Clarifies Hospitalisation Cause, Denies Insect Bite on Fauzi Set
Actor Rajesh Sharma clarified that his hospitalisation in July was due to a long-standing skin infection worsened by high diabetes levels, not an insect bite on the set of Prabhas' film Fauzi as previously reported. He dismissed claims linking his illness to the film shoot, stating the infection worsened after he returned to Kolkata. Sharma also defended friend Sudipa Chatterjee, who had shared the incorrect insect bite report out of concern. He is now recovering and expects to resume work soon.
