‘I lost six months of my life’: When Disha Patani’s gymnastics practice led to a life-altering injury; how head trauma can wipe out months of memory

For many people who enjoy high-intensity fitness routines, injuries can be an unexpected and frightening setback. Actor Disha Patani has often spoken about her passion for training, including gymnastics, weightlifting, MMA, and dance.

She once told Vogue India , “The general assumption is that women working out involves cardio, not weight training. But we all work out and do heavy weights; I come across so many girls in the gym training really hard.”

Her dedication to gymnastics helped her play a circus performer in Bharat , but it also led to one of the scariest moments of her life. In an interview with Mid Day , she revealed that she suffered a serious head injury while practising on her terrace: “I lost six months of my life because I couldn’t remember anything.”
