Sidharth Malhotra shares photo of injured leg

Actor Sidharth Malhotra shared a photograph of his injured leg in a medical walking boot, making a joke about the injury in an Instagram Story. The post showed the boot and carried the caption, “I took break a leg too seriously,” alongside a hospital emoji. The reports do not establish the injury’s diagnosis or severity. The image was posted on Monday, October 12, according to one account, and was reported publicly on Tuesday, October 13. Malhotra did not provide details about the injury’s nature or a recovery timeline in the social-media post. Most reports said he had not disclosed how it happened. One account cited videos recorded by attendees at an event in Jamnagar and reported that Malhotra described injuring himself while rehearsing for a performance. In those remarks, he said he had jumped too much while rehearsing and had visited a hospital. He also said doctors advised him not to jump that day. That explanation was not included in Malhotra’s Instagram post, and the other reports said the cause had not been disclosed. The available reports describe the support on his leg as a walking boot; one account characterized it as plaster and bandage.
