On Friday, Vishal shared photos and videos from a hospital bed, his arm visibly injured, and wrote, “Accidents have a way of shaking you up. While shooting, I accidentally cut my nerves with glass, something I never imagined could happen while doing the one thing I love the most: acting. Two operations later, I’m here, paused, forced to put everything on hold. For someone chasing his dream physique (nazar is real), his dream career, this feels like one of the darkest days.”

Vishal recalled how close the incident came to turning into a tragedy, “The doctor told me something that still gives me chills – my artery that goes straight to the heart was saved by just a few minor inches. If not, half my body could’ve been paralysed. He said it was nothing but a blessing that saved me. And I can only think of the blessings I receive every day from my family, my friends, and of course all of you.”

Despite the ordeal, Vishal signed off on a hopeful note, “And yet… you’ll still see me smiling in these pictures. Why? Because once I’m back to full strength, nothing and no one will be able to stop me. Even in this condition I won’t pause. This little setback won’t define me, it’ll fuel me. Like they say, the sun always rises again. And so will I.”

Soon after, fans and industry friends flooded the comments section with well wishes. Influencer and close friend Sameeksha Sud wrote: “Ohhh shit… take care yaara…” while a fan added, “Praying for your speedy recovery. Take care and heal well. Hope to see you back to your awesome self soon.” Another commented, “Vishal, please take care of your health and get well soon.”
