For the unversed, the actor was shooting for the film Fauji at Ramoji Film City when he was bitten by a poisonous insect, either a bug or a spider (couldn't be confirmed as of now). Following this, the actor's health condition deteriorated, and he is currently under tight observation and still not out of danger.

What happened to Rajesh Sharma? How is he doing?
If the reports are to be believed, Rajesh Sharma was conversing with some technicians on the set and felt something bite him. While he reportedly couldn't see any signs, as the day passed, his health started deteriorating. However, he reportedly completed the shooting and took a flight to reach Kolkata. He is currently under tight investigation and is admitted to a private hospital in Dhakuria. As per a report by TOI, the medical team revealed that the actor continues to face breathing difficulties, and the infection spread from his toes up; the affected area also developed a large blister. Amid his concerning health condition, let's know some lesser-known facts about the actor.
Rajesh Sharma worked as a taxi driver and ferry operator before becoming an actor, but the struggle didn't end
Rajesh Sharma was born in Punjab and grew up in Kolkata. In an interview, Rajesh Sharma once revealed that he even worked as a taxi driver in Kolkata and not only this, he also worked as a ferry operator, before becoming an actor. He would do odd jobs in the morning, and in the evening he would rehearse. While earning money by doing odd jobs, in his teen years, Rajesh Sharma made his way to the National School of Drama.
At the age of 17, the actor enrolled in a drama school, which further pushed him into the world of cinema and television. He made his debut in 1996 with Gulzar’s Maachis, and following this, he took a break. He was appearing in several Bengali projects following this, be it cinema or television. He has been well-known for his villainous roles and comic roles as well. Till 2005, the actor had done a few films and was seen in several other projects; however, during this time frame, he didn't get any opportunity in Bollywood films.
Certainly, the lack of opportunities and financial crunch took him back to Kolkata. With time, Rajesh Sharma's luck also changed, and he made a comeback in Bollywood, taking part in films like Khosla Ka Ghosla, Ishqiya, No One Killed Jessica, Chillar Party, The Dirty Picture, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, Special 26, B.A. Pass, Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story and India’s Most Wanted. He was also seen in several web series like Prime's Paatal Lok, and also in Life Sahi Hai, Kark Rogue, Matsya Kaand, Ray, and Amit Bhadana LL.B.
Rajesh Sharma has been married twice
Rajesh Sharma keeps his personal life private; however, he has been married twice. He was first married to Bengali actress Sudipta Chakraborty. If the reports are to be believed, the couple got married in the early 2000s after coming close during their theatre days. Well, the duo reportedly had been married for 4 years before their divorce was finalised in 2009. The reason for their split was not publicly disclosed. It was 2 years later that Rajesh got married again. Rajesh's second wife is Sangeeta, who stays away from the public limelight, while the actor, too, has never extensively discussed his marital life.
We wish Rajesh a speedy recovery!
