Entering the film industry at just 18, without any prior experience in the field, Rakul had a clear philosophy: \u201cThere may be people who look better or are more talented, but no one will outwork me. My work is my devotion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rakul emphasized her commitment to professionalism. \u201cWhen I say 4 p.m., I mean 4 p.m. If my hair and makeup take 1.5 hours, that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019ll take. There\u2019s no other way for me,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>However, her dedication was put to the test after she endured a serious back injury that left her struggling to move. For nearly a year, Rakul had to coordinate her shoots and travel while also attending physical therapy sessions. &#8220;Even in Melbourne, after a long day of shooting, I&#8217;d make time for my rehab. I\u2019d tell my team, \u2018Give me an hour in the evening for my exercises.\u2019 This is not just a short-term journey; it\u2019s about a lasting career,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Rakul now prioritizes long-term health over temporary fame in every aspect of her life, even in small decisions. She mentioned that she has stopped wearing heels after learning how they can negatively impact posture and spinal health. \u201cIn the last year, I&#8217;ve realized how wearing heels constantly hunches women forward. It\u2019s harmful, yet we treat it as a style rule. Who decided that looking good must be painful?\u201d she asked. Rakul has embraced flat shoes on red carpets, feeling empowered rather than diminished. \u201cI\u2019ve worn flats and never felt less glamorous. We should make that normal,\u201d she concluded.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a heartfelt interview with Elle India, actress Rakul Preet Singh shared insights about the discipline that has been key to her success, along with the challenges she&#8217;s faced due to injuries.
