Sandblasted!

KAVITA SHYAM

Sumeet Sachdev will think ten times before stepping onto a desert in future. The actor, while shooting in a desert near Dubai for Balaji Telefilms' Khwaish, tripped up on a sand dune and almost passed out. The entire unit thought that the worst had happened to him. Recalls Sumeet, "I was shooting in the wee hours of the morning and I had to run downhill. I was running very fast on the sand and lost control all of a sudden. Since I had no grip on the sinking sand, I fell flat on my face. I went right into the sand and my body got jammed. I was stuck, face inside the sand and kept sinking deeper and deeper in. I felt dizzy and almost passed out as the world around me began to feel hazy. After what seemed like a very long time, a unit member rescued me."
