Isha Talwar Had A Major Eye Injury During The Shoot Of 'Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo'
While doing a high intensity action sequence for the crime-drama television series, Isha Talwar suffered an eye injury.
New Delhi: Isha Talwar has received quite a lot of applause for her performance as Bijlee in the web series ‘Saas Bahu Aur Falmingo’. Recently, the actor opened up about suffering an injury during the shoot of the Homi Adajania directorial.
While doing a high intensity action sequence for the crime-drama television series, Isha Talwar suffered an eye injury.
The actor was doing her fight sequence when she got hit on her left eye by a shot through a squib machine,a controlled pyrotechnic special effect device to stimulate the appearance of the character being shot or wounded.
She was offered a body double for her part, but Isha said she liked to do her action sequence by herself.
Isha told news agency IANS, "Since we were shooting in the salt pans and it was too dark to see where the squibs were in the middle of the night, the shot accidentally went straight into my left eye. My eye had a huge swelling and I could not open my eye."
"To compensate for the swollen eye and look normal, I applied double surma in the eyes so on camera, one can't tell that I am injured. Even though Homi gave me the option of sitting out and not doing the action sequence, I chose to go ahead with it.
She added: "My co-actor Deepak Dobriyaal took me to a specialist the next day and visited two more doctors to ensure nothing serious had happened. I stayed in darkness for three days to go back to normal."
