Padmapriya suffers complete ACL tear during film shoot

Padmapriya was working on a Malayalam film when the accident occurred. She was performing a jumping sequence when she lost her footing and fell, damaging a ligament in her leg. Medical examination revealed that she had suffered a complete ACL tear.Explaining the circumstances of the injury, the actor said, "I was shooting for a Malayalam film when I had to perform a jumping sequence.

I lost my footing, fell and injured a ligament in my leg (suffered a complete ACL tear). This is not an easy thing to deal with. However, my surgeon told me that football players aged 17 or 18 sometimes experience this three or four times before they turn 21. So, I feel it may not be such a big challenge for me.

Although I spent my time reading books and doing other things, going through this phase was not easy."
