Why is Rajkummar Rao in hospital?

Rajkummar Rao 'breaks a leg' for Farah Khan!

Rajkummar Rao fractured his leg while shooting for the reality TV show, Lip Sing Battle.

The 33-year-old actor, who was facing off against his Bareilly Ki Barfi co-star Kriti Sanon on the show, suffered two fractures on his left leg and had to undergo a surgery.

The actor posted a photograph on Instagram with the show's host Farah Khan, in which he lay on a hospital bed with his leg in a cast.

'Everyone was asking me to break a leg specially @farahkhankunder and see I've literally done that. Two fractures, one surgery but not that bad,' he posted.

'Got to learn some amazing dance moves. Thank you team Lip Sing Battle and my apologies @kritisanon couldn't shoot today. Apologies everyone couldn't finish it today but very soon hopefully,' he added.

Farah commented, 'Break a leg' doesn't mean literally! My poor @rajkummar_rao fractures his ankle but retains his sense of humour on Lip Sing Battle.'
