He had to stop shooting until the pain on his shoulder decreased.


"Even though I am fit and my joints are pretty flexible with the sword, there was a mismatch and suddenly I felt a pain seep in through my right shoulder when I swayed the sword for the scene. It was sudden and given the pain, I had to stop shooting for an hour until the pain subsided after which I took it easy," Arpit said in a statement.

The show, aired on Star Plus, brings forth the saga of the mighty ruler Chandragupta and his wife Nandni.
