Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha plans Mumbai air ambulance transfer following Bali spinal injury

Bharuccha had shared photos from her Bali trip on social media about a week before the accident.
She was recently signed for an action film directed by Remo D’Souza and starring Tiger Shroff; the project is set to mark the first time Bharuccha and Shroff appear together.
The same report said Pashmina Roshan, Abhishek Banerjee and Elvish Yadav were also expected to play lead roles in the film.
Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha suffered a spinal fracture in an accident while on a work-and-holiday trip in Bali and has been airlifted to Mumbai for spine surgery. NDTV reported that she was hospitalized in Bali after the incident before being transferred via air ambulance on October 2. Her team released a statement saying her immediate priority is health and recovery, and they have asked the public to respect her privacy during this time.
The circumstances of the accident remain undisclosed. Deccan Herald confirmed Bharuccha is now under medical observation in Mumbai and scheduled for surgery. The incident may impact her upcoming work, including a major action film with Tiger Shroff directed by Remo D'Souza that began filming in August 2026.
Bharuccha had been in Bali combining work commitments with leisure time. Cinema Express reported that she posted vacation photos on social media about a week before the accident occurred. The exact details of how the spinal fracture happened have not been made public by her team or medical staff.
After the accident, she received immediate medical care at a Bali hospital before her condition was deemed serious enough to require transfer. PTC Punjabi noted that doctors in Bali conducted evaluations before deciding an air ambulance to Mumbai was necessary for specialized spine surgery.
Bharuccha recently signed for an untitled action film directed by Remo D'Souza and starring Tiger Shroff. Deccan Herald confirmed this marks their first on-screen collaboration. The production, which also stars Pashmina Roshan, Abhishek Banerjee, and Elvish Yadav, began filming in August 2026 and will likely pause during her recovery.
Spine surgery and rehabilitation typically require months of rest, which will delay filming schedules. Hindustan Times reported that production teams are adjusting timelines around her medical needs. She is also attached to another project, the crime thriller *Ghooskhor Pandat*, which may face similar delays.
Bharuccha's publicist released an official statement emphasizing that her health and recovery are the top priority. The team thanked supporters for their well-wishes and asked that her privacy be respected during this critical time. Her Zindagi reported that the actress arrived in Mumbai on a stretcher, surrounded by medical staff and family members.
The statement made clear that Bharuccha is receiving necessary medical care and proper observation. Media outlets have noted that all promotional activities and public appearances are on indefinite hold until she completes surgery and begins physical rehabilitation.
