Actor Rajesh Sharma says reports that an insect bite on Prabhas’s film set caused his illness are incorrect. In conversations with NDTV, he states that “nothing happened” on Prabhas’s set and that the reason circulated publicly—an insect bite—was not the actual cause.

Sharma’s comments address claims that his health issue was linked to his time on the set of Prabhas’s project. While the reporting he is responding to attributes his sickness to an insect bite, Sharma presents a different explanation, insisting the incident reported by others did not occur. The outlet’s coverage centers on the actor’s clarification rather than independent corroboration of either account, and it frames his remarks as the correction of a specific circulating detail.

Overall, the published accounts reflect a dispute between the original narrative—an alleged bite—and Sharma’s direct denial. Both NDTV pieces attribute the update to Sharma’s statements in exclusive interviews, with no additional sourcing provided in the excerpts beyond his clarification.
