The medical procedure follows an accident earlier this month while the actress was on a work-cum-leisure trip in Bali, Indonesia, which left her with a serious spinal fracture. After initial stabilization abroad, Bharuccha was airlifted via air ambulance to Mumbai and admitted to Breach Candy Hospital, where an expert medical team performed the surgery.
Her official spokesperson and management team released a formal health statement on Thursday evening confirming that the surgery went smoothly and that the actress is in good spirits as she embarks on the rehabilitation phase.
The Official Statement: "Relieved to Share That the Surgery Went Well"
Releasing an update to calm widespread concern across the film fraternity and among fans, her team shared:
“After going through a difficult and challenging phase following her unfortunate accident, Nushrratt Bharuccha has successfully undergone spine surgery. We are relieved to share that the surgery went well, and she has now been discharged from the hospital.
Nushrratt is finally back home, surrounded by care and comfort, as she begins the important journey towards recovery. While the road to complete recovery will take time, she remains positive and is focusing on healing and regaining her strength.
