Rakesh stuck in a landslide

In the video that he posted on Instagram late Monday, Rakesh said, "You must have heard how Shimla, Himachal Pradesh are all badly affected by landslides. Such huge mountains are coming down heavily. The roads and streets are all stuck, so many vehicles are stuck in the mountains. I went to Solan two weeks ago, for a lecture on acting that I had to deliver. When we were returning, we were told that the main highway is stuck due to a landslide and we may take a shortcut."

Rakesh broke his finger

He added, "When we took that shortcut, a huge boulder fell right ahead of us. Thank God it did not fall on our car, otherwise I'd have been. So when I tried to become a He-Man, and remove the boulder from the road, it moved ahead but rolled back on my finger. My finger was badly hurt and half of the finger dangled, it was so badly hurt. It has healed to a major extent now. Had it been a little bigger injury, the finger would have been off my hands. The road was later cleared with the help of a JCB machine." He also expressed his sympathies for all the people stuck in the mountains due to the landslides and added that he prays for their safety.
