New Delhi: TV actor Ankush Arora who essays the role of 'Kartik' in Zee TV’s popular show ‘Yeh Vaada Raha’ has slit his palm with real knife while shooting for an important sequence.
And consequently, the actor has got six stitches on his hand for his deep injury, says report.
While talking to leading telly website TellyChakkar.com the actor said, “We were shooting for this scene where Meher (played by Ankita Sharma) is threating to commit suicide. She had a knife in her hand and I was supposed to pull it from her. I didn’t realise she was holding a real knife and that too quite firmly and when I tried to pull it away from her, I ended up slitting my hand and passed out.”
The production team then immediately take him to a nearby hospital, where he was given a drip of glucose and got six stitches.
After three hours, he returned on the sets and complete the shoot.
“It will take a couple of days for the stitches to heal completely. Sometimes we actors get so engrossed in a scene, striving for perfection that we forget to be cautious. I am just glad the shoot wasn’t stalled for too long because of me and we could wrap the schedule,” added the actor to the telly portal.
ABP LIVE wishes Ankush a speedy recovery!
