Aayush Sharma undergoes two back surgeries

Aayush Sharma, who is married to Salman Khan's sister Arpita Khan Sharma, revealed that he recently underwent two back surgeries after ignoring persistent pain that began while shooting an action sequence for his film Ruslaan.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Aayush shared that he initially brushed off the discomfort, a decision he now calls his “biggest mistake.

”It started while pulling off a stunt“Life has its way of slowing you down to make sure you listen,” Aayush wrote, opening up about the injury. “For the last couple of years, I had been experiencing consistent pain in my back. It started while pulling off a stunt during the action scene in Ruslaan — nothing too dramatic, so I did what most of us tend to do...

ignored it, masked it, and kept going.”However, the pain eventually worsened while he was shooting for his current film. Movements like dancing, stunts, and even basic stretches became difficult. “What I thought was temporary turned out to be far more serious,” he said.On the road to recoveryAayush shared that he’s now finally taking the time to heal. “The journey has just begun, and I’m filled with nothing but gratitude, hope, and a burning desire to get back to doing what I love the most — being in front of the camera.”

He reflected on how this phase shifted his perspective on fitness: “This phase has taught me that good health isn’t just about a six-pack — it’s about what’s happening inside. Don’t ignore the whispers your body sends you. Act early. Heal properly.”

Thanks family and crew for supportAayush thanked his doctors, as well as his producer Sajid Qureshi and director Kiran Korrapati, for their patience and understanding.

He also credited his wife Arpita Khan Sharma, and their children Ahil and Ayat, for transforming his recovery period.“To my beautiful family — Arpita, Ahil, and Ayat — thank you for turning my bedrest into what felt more like a vacation than a punishment. Your laughter, love, and support have been my real medicine.”

Ending his post on a heartfelt note, Aayush shared a special moment with his son: “And then there’s my little man, Ahil, who looked at me and said — ‘Papa, you heal fast... I need my Wolverine back.’ I’m coming back stronger. For you. For me. For all of it.”
