What Happened To Shraddha Kapoor During Her Five-Week Break?
Shraddha Kapoor’s “five-week break” wasn’t a mysterious vanishing act. It was a forced pause after she fractured a toe while shooting a high-energy Lavani sequence for Laxman Utekar’s biopic Eetha. The injury meant no dance rehearsals, no long shoot days, and a schedule reset. Instead, the gap turned into recovery time: rest, medical check-ups, and gradual physio so she could get back to movement-heavy scenes without risking a repeat. She largely kept things low-profile, because healing a foot injury is slow and boring.
The Real Reason For The Pause, And What Changed After
Reports say production called for a five-week halt, and Shraddha returned to the set on January 4, 2026. The comeback was not low-key either: the unit reportedly restarted with a large dance setup at Marve Beach, Malad, involving hundreds of background performers, which is exactly the kind of choreography that needed her fully fit. The delay also pushed timelines, with the shoot expected to stretch further into 2026.
A news outlet recap of the injury and pause is here. During the break, she also kept the tone light in updates around her injury, signalling she was recovering and ready to resume work.
What Fans Clocked In The Background
While she was off the floor, chatter moved to what comes next: reports around finishing Eetha and lining up the next shoot, plus fresh casting buzz tying her to big 2026 projects. In short, the “break” looked less like downtime and more like a strategic reset enforced by a very real on-set injury.
