Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor, who is set to return to the big screen with her upcoming film Itha’, has suffered an injury during a Lavani dance sequence, forcing the production to pause. According to reports, the actress lost her balance while performing high-tempo steps composed by Ajay–Atul. Wearing a bright nauvari saree and heavy traditional jewellery, Shraddha accidentally put her full weight on her left foot, resulting in a toe fracture.

Following the incident, director Laxman Utekar immediately stopped the shoot, though Shraddha suggested continuing with close-up scenes to avoid delays. The team resumed filming emotional scenes at Mumbai’s Mud Island, but her pain increased, leading to another halt. Doctors have advised her to rest until the fracture heals properly.

The film crew will regroup after two weeks once Shraddha fully recovers. ‘Itha’ is a biographical drama based on the life of renowned dancer, actor, and Tamasha artist Vithabai Bhau Mang Narayangaonkar, with Shraddha portraying her younger version.
