The cast and crew of Zee's Ghar Ki Lakshmi-Betiyaan were shocked after two unit hands got injured on the sets on Sunday evening.
The cast was shooting outdoors at Russian Villa in Madh Island when it started raining heavily. A source in the production house says, "Although it was supposed to be an early morning schedule, the shooting got postponed due to incessant rains. Though the cast was shooting between the showers they packed their bags for the day after the unit hands got injured."
The source adds, "The actors were shooting in the lawn that was decorated with lights. A crew member was arranging the lights when we suddenly heard a cry for help. The crew member caught a naked wire and was electrocuted. Before we could reach him for help, another member who had already rushed to his rescue was also struck by the electricity current. Luckily, someone switched off the mains and his presence of mind saved their lives. They were both given first-aid and rushed to the closest hospital."
Director Romesh Kalra says, "We should have been careful. Actually the wires were exposed to heavy rains for a long time. Thankfully, it was not a major accident and both the crew members are fine now. But the incident disturbed the other actors on the sets and we decided to pack up for the day. Luckily, we had an episode bank for the next day."
