Recalling the incident, Ali Merchant shared his distress in an interview with The Times of India, saying, “I was at the show when I suddenly felt a jerk in my lower right back, and it turned into a really bad muscle spasm. The pain was so intense that I couldn’t move at all. I had to stay in one position because even the slightest movement was unbearable.” The unexpected injury not only caused him excruciating pain but also hindered his ability to perform and travel.

Despite making efforts to manage the pain by staying hydrated and taking short breaks, the discomfort persisted. Ali’s condition worsened while traveling back to Mumbai, as carrying bags and enduring the long journey aggravated his back strain. “The whole journey back just added to the strain,” he explained. The prolonged travel made his recovery even more challenging, forcing him to seek immediate treatment.
