She is currently hospitalised in Bali and remains under medical observation. Following further evaluation by the doctors, Nushrratt will be undergoing spine surgery," the statement read.

The statement added that the actor’s health and medical care remain the immediate priority.

Her team said that, because of the injury and the surgery, Nushrratt would need time away from work to focus on recovery. It also requested privacy for the actor during this period and thanked people for their concern and good wishes.

“We request everyone to respect her privacy at this time and allow her the space to focus on her treatment and recovery. We are grateful for everyone’s concern and good wishes and will share further updates as and when appropriate,” the statement said.
