Arpit Ranka injured while shooting a war scene!

Actor Arpit Ranka, who is currently playing the role of Raja Padmanand in "Chandra-Nandini", was injured on the sets of the show while shooting for a war sequence.

The show's ongoing narrative has war sequences between Chandragupta Maurya and Padmanand. During one such sequence, Arpit was supposed to move the sword at an angle but due to a mismatch in timing, the actor ended up with a sprained shoulder. He had to stop shooting until the pain on his shoulder decreased.

"Even though I am fit and my joints are pretty flexible with the sword, there was a mismatch and suddenly I felt a pain seep in through my right shoulder when I swayed the sword for the scene. It was sudden and given the pain, I had to stop shooting for an hour until the pain subsided after which I took it easy," Arpit said in a statement.

The show, aired on Star Plus, brings forth the saga of the mighty ruler Chandragupta and his wife Nandini.
