According to medical reports shared by Dalal, he suffered a "full-thickness tear" of the triceps tendon in his right elbow. The injury reportedly occurred during a high-intensity task on the very first day of shooting for the series, which is currently streaming on JioHotstar.

Initially diagnosed as a 2.8 cm tear, the injury worsened as the competition progressed. Dalal revealed that after performing a subsequent physical task, the tear expanded to 3 cm, causing the torn fibres to retract significantly.

"There was a commitment to the show, and I didn't want to leave it midway," Dalal stated. "I completed the show first and then finally got a date with the doctor I wanted for the surgery."
