Actor Aayush Sharma has candidly opened up about a recent spine injury that forced him to take a step back from work and reassess his health. Known for his intense physical transformations, the actor shared how he misinterpreted early warning signs from his body, thinking it was just part of his regular training soreness.
Aayush Sharma opens up about spine injury, slams six-pack craze: “I feel the weakest then”
“I was taking my body’s messages lightly for a long time. I was constantly under training and I was misunderstanding it as muscle soreness. That was just the body saying that, ‘stop, give it a break’. I was in the middle of a shoot when it got aggravated. That’s when I saw the doctor and suddenly I was told that there is an issue in the back and my L4 and L5 is giving me trouble,” Sharma revealed.
While the injury may have disrupted his work schedule, the 33-year-old actor sees it as a blessing in disguise. He embraced the unexpected pause and turned it into a valuable opportunity to spend quality time with his family. “In a very positive hindsight, it gave me a great amount of time with my kids and wife at home. We called it a bonding exercise. My son started cooking for me and made nice avocado toasts. Arpita (Khan, wife) and I caught up on a lot of movies. So, it turned out to be quite a different summer for me,” he said, adding a warm glimpse into his personal life.
Sharma also took the opportunity to address the prevailing obsession with sculpted physiques in the entertainment industry. He challenged the notion that six-pack abs are a true marker of health and strength.
“I am a firm believer that six-pack body is not a fit body. But there’s been this trend of everybody trying to emulate it, which I don’t think is fitness. It is aesthetic and there is a difference between fitness and aesthetic,” Sharma asserted. “I always say that the days we are doing those six-pack body shots, I actually feel the weakest in my life.”
As Sharma focuses on recovery, his words strike a chord with fans and fitness enthusiasts alike — highlighting the importance of listening to one’s body and valuing real health over visual perfection.
