Sunil Singh wrestling injury and recovery

Overview

Former WWE wrestler Sunil Singh, also known as Gurv Sihra of the Bollywood Boyz, suffered a collapsed right lung (pneumothorax) during a Pure Power Wrestling match in Lethbridge, Alberta, on September 19. Singh reported that the injury occurred during a routine move, causing immediate respiratory distress and leaving him unable to stand once backstage. Following hospital X-rays, doctors informed him he was “lucky to be alive.”

By late September, Sihra provided a positive update via social media, stating that recent X-rays indicated he was on the right path to recovery. While he had not yet announced a return timeline, he noted he was not yet at 100% and had further medical tests to complete.

In October, Sihra revealed that X-rays showed a cut in his lung tissue caused by rib impact, which was leaking air. Although he had been cleared to begin working out, he remained unable to wrestle or travel by air. By late October, Sihra shared that his lungs had returned to normal, with very few air bubbles remaining in his chest cavity. While he was still not cleared to fly, he expressed optimism regarding his upcoming medical clearance.

In early November, Singh received official medical clearance from his trauma doctor to return to professional wrestling. Following a two and a half month recovery period, the 41-year-old expressed his intention to continue his career alongside his brother, Harv Sihra, stating that after 22 years in the industry, he still has goals to accomplish.
