Kangana Ranaut escapes fatal accident on the sets of 'Manikarnika-The Queen of Jhansi'

Kangana Ranaut likes to perform her own stunts for her movies but it turned into a bloodbath on the sets of Manikarnika-The Queen of Jhansi. 

While shooting for an intense sword fighting scene with her co-star Nihar Pandya, a sword hit Kangana's forehead which was bleeding profusely after the injury. This happened on the sets of her Lakshmibai biopic in Hyderabad. According to Mid-day report, a unit member on the sets of the film said, " Kangana was immediately admitted to Apollo Hospital nearby where she was admitted to ICCU. She got 15 stitches on her forehead and will be under observation for a few days. The examining doctor said it was a close cut for her as it was too close to her bone. But her sister and manager, Rangoli Chandel tweeted saying, "Kangana is recovering now, thanks for your well wishes."

Producer Kamal Jain said the scene was rehearsed before going on sets and it was the actress who insisted doing the stunt all by her herself, instead of using a body double. Giving out details of the accident, Jain said, " Kangana had to duck the sword when Nihar attacked her, but the timing went wrong and the sword hit on her forehead instead. It made a deep cut between her eyebrows.She put up a brave front in spite of the bleeding and deep pain during the 30 minute drive to the hospital. Nihar was apologetic and felt terrible but Kangana pacified him."

As the injury is going to leave a scar, unit members suggested that Kangana Ranaut is going to flaunt it in her role of a warrior. She is hospitalised for a week now and most likely will also have to go for a cosmetic surgery to hide it.
