Rajesh Sharma’s Hospitalisation: Why Akshay Kumar Is the Only One Showing Up

When a veteran actor falls seriously ill, you’d expect an outpouring of support from an industry he’s spent decades working in. For Rajesh Sharma, that support has come from exactly one place — his longtime co-star and friend, Akshay Kumar.

What Happened?

Rajesh Sharma was bitten by a venomous insect while shooting for the Prabhas-starrer Fauzi in a densely vegetated part of Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. He initially brushed off the pain and continued working, but hours later, as his condition worsened with severe pain and high fever, he was hospitalized at Kolkata’s Manipal Hospital, where he remains under close medical observation.

Despite decades of work across Hindi, Bengali, and South Indian cinema, very few industry figures have publicly acknowledged his condition. The one major exception is Akshay Kumar, who has stayed in regular touch with Sharma’s family and shared a public message expressing concern for his recovery, along with a hope for him to get better soon.

Rajesh Sharma’s Hospitalisation:

A Friendship Built Over Years

Akshay Kumar and Rajesh Sharma’s collaboration spans several notable films, most recently Bhooth Bangla, where Sharma played Akshay’s father in a role that helped the film become a clean box office hit. That history seems to be exactly why Akshay has stepped up now, when much of the industry has stayed quiet.

This kind of quiet, consistent support reflects something larger about how friendship in high-pressure industries often looks less like public tributes and more like showing up when it actually matters — checking in, staying present, and not needing an audience for it.
