Mumbai, July 9 (NationPress) Actor Priyanshu Painyuli has revealed that he had to undergo hernia surgery, which compelled him to step back from his strict fitness regimen, a vital aspect of his lifestyle.
Reflecting on his journey, Priyanshu stated, “Fitness has always been a non-negotiable part of my life. However, upon receiving my hernia diagnosis, I was forced to have surgery and completely abandon my workout routine.”
He admitted that relinquishing his fitness was a significant challenge.
“It was tough—both mentally and physically. The recovery process was painful, but I learned that sometimes the bravest choice is to take a step back. I allowed myself to recover without feeling guilty. Health must always come first.”
He is now eager to resume his fitness journey.
“Once you’re fully healed, you can return with a renewed energy, and that’s exactly what I’m aiming for now.”
On the professional front, Priyanshu will next appear in “Paan Parda Zarda”, a series centered around illegal opium trafficking in central India. The project was announced in 2023, marking the beginning of this opium smuggling saga.
This web series will feature a collaboration of notable creative talents, including renowned directors Gurmmeet Singh (known for Mirzapur and Inside Edge) and Shilpi Dasgupta, along with Mrighdeep Singh Lamba (from the Fukrey franchise), Suparn S Varma (from Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hain, Family Man, and Rana Naidu), and the talented writing duo Hussain Dalal & Abbas Dalal (from Bambai Meri Jaan, Farzi, Brahmastra), alongside Radhika Anand & Vibha Singh.
He is also set to star in “Tere Ishq Main” alongside Kriti Sanon and Dhanush. This film reunites the ‘Raanjhanaa’ team with director Aanand L Rai, actor Dhanush, and the Grammy and Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman after their previous collaboration on Atrangi Re.
'Tere Ishq Main' is anticipated to be a spiritual successor to the world of ‘Raanjhanaa’, exploring deeper themes of unrequited love, longing, and emotional turmoil. The film is scheduled for a global release in both Hindi and Tamil on November 28, 2025.
