Anas Rashid who was last seen in COLORS' Aise Karo Naa Vidaa has taken ill with a severe stiffness and pain in his neck. The occurrence of pain and slight discomfort in the neck started when the actor was working out in the gym early this month. To get some relief from the pain, Anas used hot fermentation on the painful areas which lead to major complications.

Says Anas, "I developed a severe inflammation on my neck and I had to rush to the doctor. I was told that I had to use ice bags instead of hot fermentation, and because of this my muscles had stiffened. The disorder is termed Cervical Discogenic Pain. I was in terrible shape for the past 15 days. I was completely on bed, and could not get up and move. My relatives who are in Mumbai were taking care of me. My shoulder used to get very stiff and a continuous pain was there in my neck area, lower back and also hand. The doctor advised me complete rest and I was restricted from driving car, sitting for long hours etc. I was given some gentle exercises and medication. I am now much better and relieved of pain".

Anas, as we know has been roped in as the lead protagonist of Sumeet Mittal and Shashi Mittal's upcoming show on Star Plus, Diya Batti. The shoot of the show has not yet started and the actor thanks his stars for the same. "I really do not know what would have happened if the shoot for my show had begun. I was able to rest so much without any worry just because my show has not gone on floor. I plan to take as much rest as I can before I get back to serious work", signs off Anas.

Anas takes leave of us as he wishes his fans all the very best for the New Year.

TellyBuzz wishes Anas a speedy recovery and a very eventful year ahead..
