Hrithik Roshan
Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan has cut his wrist in an accident on the set of forthcoming film Kites.
He has cuts usually associated with suicide attempts so avoided going to the big hospital in Bandra and instead was treated at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital.
A source close to Hrithik says: "Duggu (Hrithik’s pet name) was the first patient at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital. He hurt himself on the sets of Anurag Basu’s Kites at Filmistan Studios on Wednesday night. He was shooting for an action scene in which he had to smash a windowpane with a rod and enter the room. The shot didn’t work well two times; the third time Hrithik hit the glass so hard that glass shards flew everywhere. One sliced through his wrist and blood gushed everywhere. The cut was so deep that Hrithik could see his bone."
"Initially, Sunaina didn’t realise how serious Hrithik’s wound was but when he cried out to her asking for help and to stop the blood gushing out, she realised he needed to be taken to a hospital for stitches. The source adds that Sunaina decided to take him to Lilavati Hospital in Bandra but they were advised that it might become a police case. She spoke to her dad, who in turn called Tina Ambani in Delhi who made the necessary arrangements for Hrithik’s admission."
Rakesh Roshan confirms: "The deep cut required 12 stitches. He won’t be shooting for the next three days till the doctor sees his wound."
"We took Hrithik to the Ambani Hospital as it was close to Filmistan Studios in Goregaon. I wanted him to reach the hospital as soon as possible. I spoke to Tina. She spoke to the doctors and made all the required arrangements. Fortunately, they had opened the hospital just a day before and Hrithik was their first patient. It’s a fantastic hospital like a 7-star hotel very well thought out with 700 beds. The doctors are very efficient."
At least he's recovering in luxury!
