Former Coronation Street actress Bhavna Limbachia has been praised for sharing a "real" photo on Instagram.
The actress, best known for playing Rana Habeeb for three years on the ITV soap, took to social media on Monday as she enjoyed the bank holiday. It comes after Bhavna told her social media followers last week she had injured her thumb and had "everything crossed to avoid surgery."
She shared a photo of herself taken in hospital.

Yesterday she uploaded another two snaps, both selfies taken in what appears to be her car. In the first photo Bhavna smiles for the camera, as her hair falls straight around her face. She wears a tan turtle neck underneath a black leather jacket, and a minimalistic makeup look.
The next photo is taken in the same place, but from a different angle. Bhavna has put the camera lower so to give a "double chin" appearance.
Captioning the Instagram post she said: "What you see Vs What you don’t... #instavreality #carselfie #bankholiday"
Fans were clearly loving the photos. Taking to the comments section, Sukhy said: "This is brave on another level!!", while Adam said: "My friend sends me selfies like the second one a lot".
Tae said: "Second pic still looks better than me when I try to take a nice photo tbh", and Rajesh said: "Looking gorgeous in BOTH Bhavna".
