Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut suffered serious injury after being accidentally hit on forehead by a prop sword while shooting an action sequence for her new film, “Manikarnika – The Queen Of Jhansi”. The shooting was being held in Hyderabad.
As per reports, During a sword fight, Kangana was supposed to duck but the sword accidentally struck on her forehead, and it made a deep cut between her eyebrows. The scene was reportedly rehearsed numerous times but the timing went wrong while shooting.
A bleeding Kangana was immediately rushed to Apollo hospital nearby, where she was admitted into the ICU. The examining doctor said she got 15 stitches on her forehead and that she will be under observation in the hospital for about a week. He added that the injury could have been serious because the cut was too close to her bone.
