Sunil Singh, known professionally as one half of The Bollywood Boyz and under his given name Gurv Sihra, has announced that he has been medically cleared following the collapsed lung he suffered in September.

Singh sustained the injury during a Pure Power Wrestling event in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, on September 21. The injury was later identified as a pneumothorax, the medical term for a collapsed lung. On November 3, Singh shared that his trauma doctor had officially cleared him, ending a recovery period he described as difficult and uncertain.

The update represents an encouraging development for Singh after an incident he previously said left him feeling fortunate to be alive. While a return date has not been announced, he made clear that his focus is now on getting back into the ring and resuming his wrestling journey.

Singh Announces Medical Clearance

In his message, Singh celebrated receiving the positive news just as Diwali week was beginning. He expressed gratitude to the people who had contacted him throughout his recovery with prayers, well wishes, and encouragement.

“It’s a big thumbs up. I’m happy to report I officially got cleared by my trauma Doctor today from my pneumothorax injury,” Singh wrote.

He said the previous two and a half months had brought “some uncertainties,” a fitting description of the period following such a serious injury. Singh also credited a positive outlook and faith for helping him navigate the recovery process.

“Anything is possible when you keep a positive mindset & keep the faith. ‘Conquer your mind. Conquer the world,’” Singh said.

A pneumothorax occurs when air enters the space between a lung and the chest wall, potentially causing the lung to partially or fully collapse. The severity and treatment needs can vary, but it is an injury that understandably demands medical attention and careful clearance before an athlete considers returning to physical competition. Singh’s announcement specifically noted clearance from his trauma doctor, an important milestone after the September incident.

A Difficult Recovery After the September 21 Injury

The injury occurred at Pure Power Wrestling’s event in Lethbridge, a city in Alberta. Independent wrestling is built around performers traveling frequently, appearing in front of communities of every size, and maintaining the physical demands of the profession outside the structure of a major weekly televised schedule. That environment can make an unexpected medical issue especially disruptive, both professionally and personally.

For Singh, the recovery sidelined him for roughly two and a half months between the September 21 event and his November 3 clearance announcement. Although he did not provide a timetable for his first match back, his statement leaves little doubt about his intention to wrestle again.

“I’m looking forward to getting back into the ring and continuing this wrestling journey,” Singh wrote.

His wording also reflected a career-long perspective. Singh noted that he has accumulated injuries over 22 years in wrestling, but sees them as markers of the path he has taken rather than reasons to stop pursuing what remains ahead of him.

“I wear all my injuries like a badge of honor over the last 22 years. A lot of dreams, goals are left to accomplish,” Singh said.

That outlook is especially notable given the seriousness of a collapsed lung. Singh had said in his initial comments after the injury that he was lucky to be alive. His latest update does not minimize what happened; instead, it recognizes the uncertainty of the recovery while emphasizing the relief of reaching the point of medical clearance.

The Bollywood Boyz Look Toward What Comes Next

Singh’s statement was not solely focused on his own condition. He also addressed fans of The Bollywood Boyz, the tag team identity associated with Sunil Singh. He encouraged supporters to continue cheering for the duo as he prepares to resume his career.

“I hope you all continue to cheer on ‘The Bollywood Boyz!’ This highway man is ready to make towns,” Singh wrote.

The phrase captures the traveling spirit of professional wrestling, particularly the independent scene where performers often spend long stretches on the road moving from town to town. After an injury that forced him away from that rhythm, Singh’s enthusiasm about returning to it is clear.

Still, the announcement should be viewed for exactly what it is: confirmation that he has been medically cleared, not confirmation of a specific match, event, or date. No return booking was included in the update. Fans will need to wait for further information on when and where Singh will next compete.

Medical clearance is a crucial step, but a wrestler’s in-ring return can involve additional considerations, including training, conditioning, travel plans, and the scheduling of appearances. Singh did not detail those next steps, and there is no reason to speculate beyond the information he has shared. The key news is that the obstacle created by the pneumothorax has moved from an active medical concern to a recovery milestone he has now cleared.

A Positive Start to Diwali Week

Singh said he could not have asked for a better way to begin Diwali week than with confirmation from his doctor. The timing added a personal layer of celebration to what was already an important health update. Diwali is widely observed as a festival of lights, and Singh’s post carried an unmistakably hopeful tone after weeks of uncertainty.

His thanks extended to people “both far and near,” acknowledging the support he received during the process. Wrestlers routinely develop connections across promotions, cities, locker rooms, and fan communities over the course of years on the road. In Singh’s case, the response to his injury evidently became a meaningful part of his recovery.

The message also reinforced the resilience that performers often need in a profession defined by risk, perseverance, and a demanding schedule. Singh did not present recovery as easy. He openly called the period strange and uncertain. But he also framed the experience through determination, gratitude, and the desire to keep moving forward.

No Return Date Yet, But a Major Milestone Reached

There remains no announced date for Sunil Singh’s return to competition. That uncertainty is the only part of the immediate picture that remains unresolved. However, the clearance from his trauma doctor is a substantial and welcome development after the September 21 injury at Pure Power Wrestling.

For now, Singh has moved from recovery toward preparation. His goal is plainly stated: get back in the ring, continue his career, and chase the ambitions he still has after 22 years in professional wrestling.

After suffering a collapsed lung and describing himself as fortunate to have survived the incident, that chance to look ahead is significant. Singh’s latest message is one of gratitude, faith, and renewed motivation. The next chapter for Sunil Singh and The Bollywood Boyz will begin when he is ready to step back through the ropes, but the most important news has already arrived: he has been cleared.
