What had happened to Rajesh Sharma?
Earlier, actress Sudipa Chatterjee had shared details about the incident that resulted in Rajesh Sharma’s hospitalisation. According to her statement, the actor was chatting with local technicians in an area surrounded by dense vegetation after the day’s shoot when an insect, possibly a bug or a poisonous spider, bit him. Since the bite initially appeared to be minor, he did not seek immediate medical attention and travelled back to Kolkata. However, his health deteriorated during the journey as he developed a high fever, breathlessness and a severe infection in his right leg, requiring urgent hospitalisation.
