Actor Rajesh Sharma Hospitalised After Insect Bite During Prabhas Film ShootPreviousNext

Actor Rajesh Sharma was hospitalised at Manipal Hospital in Kolkata after suffering an insect bite on the set of a Prabhas film at Ramoji Film City. Initially unnoticed, the bite caused severe pain and a rapidly spreading infection in his right leg, accompanied by high fever and breathlessness. Doctors are closely monitoring his condition, which is complicated by high blood sugar levels, and have warned of potential life-threatening complications such as blood clots. Sharma remains under critical care and observation.
