Aayush Sharma undergoes two surgeries after back injury on Ruslaan set, says ignoring the pain was ‘biggest mistake'
In a picture, Aayush was seen lying down on his hospital bed after the surgery. In another video, he said that he is finally feeling better and is comfortable knowing that this problem will be over. In the caption, he began, 'Life has its way of slowing you down to make sure you listen. 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.'
He added, 'It finally caught up with me while shooting for my current movie, and things took a turn. Movements that once felt like second nature — dancing, stunts, even the simplest stretches — became restricted. What I thought was temporary turned out to be far more serious.' 'Good health isn't just about a six-pack'
The post further read, 'The biggest mistake? Taking the pain lightly and hoping it would heal on its own. But now… here we are. After two surgeries, I'm officially on the road to recovery. 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. 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.'
He went on to thank the doctors and his family for staying beside him during this tough time. He concluded the post by sharing, '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.'
Neil Nitin Mukesh, Huma Qureshi, Mini Mathur and Pulkit Samrat wished Aayush a speedy recovery in the comments section of the post.
Ruslaan was directed by Karan Butani. It features Sushrii Shreya Mishraa, Jagapathi Babu and Vidya Malvade in crucial roles. Aayush was also seen in Antim: The Final Truth, co-starring Mahima Makwana and Jisshu Sengupta.

Inside Arpita Khan And Aayush Sharma's ₹25 Crore Sea-Facing Sanctuary in Bandra
Curated By : Swati Chaturvedi Last Updated: August 11, 2025, 10:22 IST Aayush Sharma and Arpita Khan Sharma got married in 2014 In Mumbai, where every square foot is a prized possession and balconies are rarer than punctual monsoons, Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma have managed to land themselves the ultimate coastal trophy. Their Bandra address sits on one of the city's most desirable streets, a short, star-struck stroll from Salman Khan's legendary Galaxy Apartments and comes with a front-row seat to the Arabian Sea. This isn't just 'sea-facing." This is 'the sea practically says good morning to you." Over cappuccinos, you can watch the skyline soften under the sun's first blush, all without ever feeling disconnected from the pulse of Mumbai. But here's the twist: there's no bling overload, no gold-plated everything. Instead, think Scandinavian minimalism meets Bollywood warmth, a style cocktail that even Farah Khan admitted left her open-mouthed. The Brotherly Gesture That Became a Landmark Address Homes like this don't come on the market, they come as gifts. In this case, from Salman to his sister and brother-in-law. The generosity is as grand as the apartment itself. Step into the lobby and you're met with an airy, understated elegance, a space that's as much about quiet luxury as it is about scale. Beyond it, an open-plan living and dining area plays in a soft palette of whites and oceanic blues, dotted with furniture so pristine you almost feel the need to ask permission to sit. And yet, it's no sterile showroom, it's a home that's ready for kids' giggles and late-night family chats. Minimalism With a Personal Signature Arpita helmed the interiors herself, favouring clean lines, muted tones, and smart use of light, hallmarks of Scandinavian design. But in the middle of the calm is a striking personal touch: an Ayatul Kursi painting by Salman Khan. It's art, it's faith, and it's a deeply personal statement that anchors the space in meaning. The Balcony Every Mumbaikar Dreams About Forget cramped city balconies barely big enough for a potted plant. Here, there's space for al fresco dinners, morning yoga, kids' games, and long evenings watching the sun dissolve into the Arabian Sea. Wrapped in greenery and fitted with cosy seating, it's the kind of outdoor space that could be an address in itself. No wonder Farah Khan looked out at the view and declared, 'Better than Dubai!" A Kitchen With Its Own Microclimate Then there's the kitchen, vast, cool, and shockingly well-equipped. Four air-conditioners. Three refrigerators. Enough room to host a cricket match between the counters. When Farah asked who actually cooks here, Aayush joked about discovering their chef's salary and wondering if ordering takeout might be cheaper. Still, the heart of the kitchen beats with home cooking. Meals from Salman's mother, Salma Khan, arrive daily, while Arpita sends her own culinary offerings to the extended family. It's a food exchange program powered by love (and probably a lot of tiffin carriers). Finland, But Make It Bollywood In a laugh-out-loud moment during Farah's vlog tour, Arpita revealed that they took their chef along on a trip to Finland. Cue Farah imagining parathas being flipped inside an igloo. In reality, they stayed in a villa but the image is pure comedy gold. A Five-Year-Old's Interior Design Debut While Arpita masterminded most of the décor, the couple's daughter Ayat called the shots in her own room. The result? A pink fantasyland complete with fairy-tale details, cartoon accents, and an art corner for creative adventures. It's unapologetically playful, a refreshing contrast to the home's otherwise sophisticated vibe. Luxury That's Actually Liveable Swipe Left For Next Video View all Too often, celebrity homes feel like glossy museum exhibits perfect for photographs, but impossible to live in. This one flips that script. Yes, it's expensive enough to fund an indie film festival, but it's also a space where friends linger, kids run free, and life happens in the open. For all its grandeur, this Bandra beauty is a family home first. Maybe that's why even Farah Khan, a woman who has toured more than her fair share of luxe pads, couldn't stop raving about it.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion preview: Classic beat 'em up action meets superhero mayhem in 2025 release
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a 2D side-scrolling beat 'em up game releasing later in 2025. It's published by Dotemu, a French studio known for reviving classic arcade-style games like Streets of Rage 4 (2020) and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge (2022). The gameplay is classic and simple: walk forward, beat up waves of enemies, and move to the next level — just like in old-school games. The graphics are pixelated and retro, looking like a game from the 16-bit SNES era. Dotemu has other 2025 games (Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and Absolum), but Cosmic Invasion sticks closest to pure retro design, with very few modern updates, as per the report by Rolling Stone. Productivity Tool Zero to Hero in Microsoft Excel: Complete Excel guide By Metla Sudha Sekhar View Program Finance Introduction to Technical Analysis & Candlestick Theory By Dinesh Nagpal View Program Finance Financial Literacy i e Lets Crack the Billionaire Code By CA Rahul Gupta View Program Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Masterclass by Neil Patel By Neil Patel View Program Finance Technical Analysis Demystified- A Complete Guide to Trading By Kunal Patel View Program Productivity Tool Excel Essentials to Expert: Your Complete Guide By Study at home View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Character selection & game mechanics Players can pick from 15 Marvel superheroes. Instead of using just one hero, you pick two heroes per player, and you can switch between them in real-time during the game. With up to 4 people playing together, you can have 8 heroes on screen at once thanks to the tag-team system. This tag-style setup comes from old Marvel fighting games, like X-Men vs. Street Fighter (1996), but it's rare in side-scrolling beat 'em ups, making it feel fresh. Each hero has Light and heavy attacks, Dodges or blocks, Special moves that use a stamina meter, and Tag-team attacks, where your second hero jumps in for a flashy hit, as stated by the Rolling Stone. ALSO READ: Bill and Hillary Clinton subpoenaed in Epstein case bombshell — what could they be forced to reveal? Live Events Playable characters 9 characters were playable in the preview: Captain America, Spider-Man, Storm, Wolverine, Venom, Phyla-Vell, Nova, She-Hulk, and Rocket Raccoon. The full roster will have 15 heroes, with 4 still unannounced. More may be added post-launch. Cap, Spidey, Wolverine, and Storm feel like their versions from Marvel vs. Capcom. Tribute Games said this was intentional, to match fans' expectations. They all move fast, with strong combos like Cap: His shield throw is great for crowd control. Spidey & Wolverine: Good for fast, close-up multi-hit combos. Storm: Can zap enemies all over the screen with lightning. Venom is stronger and bulkier than his fighting game version, playing more like a tank, as per the Rolling Stone report. Standout heroes Phyla-Vell (a lesser-known hero from Marvel space comics) was a top performer in the demo. She has a giant sword. Can fly and teleport. Dominates both ground and air — feels like a "one-woman army". Nova is also great — quick, hard-hitting, and smooth in the air. She-Hulk is super slow, but her big punches and long reach make her really strong in crowds. Rocket Raccoon was the worst to play in the demo. His gun-based attacks feel different and not in a good way. Weak in the air, and awkward to control. Made fights harder, but not in a fun or rewarding way. Rocket shows the problem of having so many heroes: some will feel unbalanced or just plain bad, even if they're popular, as per the Rolling Stone report. Ground vs air combat A new feature is that some heroes and enemies can fly, adding two layers of combat (ground and air). Flying just needs a double jump, but then you stay locked to the air level — like walking on an invisible path in the sky. Problem: enemies on the other plane can still hit you, and switching layers isn't always smooth. If your hero has bad air attacks, chasing flying enemies becomes annoying and kills the game's rhythm, according to the report by Rolling Stone.

The preview included 2 levels: Streets of New York, ending with a boss fight against Beetle and S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, ending with a boss fight against Taskmaster. Taskmaster has a special trick — you must knock off his Captain America-style shield to land real damage before it regenerates. Like old arcade games, bosses have unique attack patterns that you need to learn and counter. The plot is simple but big: Cosmic villain Annihilus launches a galaxy-wide attack. He brings along major threats like Thanos and Galactus, tapping into Marvel's space lore that got popular again in the 2000s. The Guardians of the Galaxy's rise in the comics (which inspired the movies) is part of the vibe here, as per the report by Rolling Stone. Level design & flow Levels are totally linear — you just move right and fight. No secrets, no collectibles, and no branching paths were seen in the demo. Some areas are tight and narrow, forcing players into close fights. Even open spaces don't feel as large or dynamic as in Streets of Rage 4 or Shredder's Revenge. Because of this, it can sometimes feel repetitive or slow, especially during quieter moments. Combat feel & visuals When action heats up, it becomes wild fun: flashy moves, tag-ins, and massive combo chains (500+ hits possible!). That said, it's best when the right characters are picked — some are clearly more fun and responsive, as stated by Rolling Stone. Visual effects are bright, satisfying, and old-school cool. But the experience feels "vanilla" (basic) — there's nothing groundbreaking outside of the tag team mechanic.

Whether later parts of the game include surprises or variety is unknown — the preview focused only on early levels. Marvel Cosmic Invasion launches later in 2025 for: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, as per the report by Rolling Stone. FAQs Q1.
