Rajesh Sharma hospitalised after suspected insect bite on Prabhas’ film set, condition under close commentary
A daunting turn after pack up
A press release issued by actress Sudipa Chatterjee and filmmaker-producer Agnidev Chatterjee revealed that Sharma was chatting with local technicians in an area surrounded by dense vegetation after pack up when he felt what was believed to be an insect bite, possibly from a bug or a toxic spider.
Because the bite didn’t initially appear serious, he didn’t seek immediate medical attention. Nevertheless, around six hours later, he reportedly developed severe pain in his right leg and started feeling unwell.
Despite his worsening condition, Sharma boarded a flight to Kolkata. Through the journey, he developed a high fever, grew increasingly restless and his health deteriorated further. He was admitted to a personal hospital in south Kolkata the next day.
Infection spreads, doctors monitor for complications
Based on the statement, Sharma continues to battle high fever, breathlessness and a rapidly progressing infection in his right leg. The infection has reportedly spread from his toes to his knee, with large blisters developing over the affected area. Dr Avijit Bhattacharya noted that it stays too early to make any definite assessment of his condition.
Sharma is claimed to stay under close commentary and isn’t yet out of danger. Doctors are monitoring him for possible complications, including the chance of a blood clot that would turn life-threatening if it travels to the lungs. The hospital team is carrying out the crucial investigations and treatment, with an extra medical update expected once an official assessment is issued.
Sudipa and Agnidev also expressed gratitude to those that have prolonged support, saying, “We sincerely thank everyone for his or her love, prayers, and support especially the media, the Bengal Motion Pictures Artists’ Forum, Rajesh’s friends and well-wishers, and above all, Shri Prosenjit Chatterjee, who has been a relentless source of guidance and support during this difficult time.”
As Sharma continues treatment, well-wishers across the industry are hoping for a swift and full recovery.
