SBS 19/08 - Amar Upadhyay unable to walk but is managing to shoot

Amar unable to walk but is managing to shoot: Amar Upadhyay, who is returning to the fiction genre after two years with the TV show 'Saath Nibhaana Saathiya', tore a ligament in his right knee while shooting the introduction scene. He has been advised a three-week bed rest. Says Amar, "I was shooting at an akhaada and had to fight four people. The last guy that I fought with, was the youngest and inexperienced. During rehearsals, I could gauge his over enthusiasm and reminded him that it's not a real fight. My worst fears, however, came true when he snapped my leg and I had to be rushed to a hospital." He resumed shoot yesterday. "I am using an elbow crutch and knee brace. I can't walk, so will shoot close-ups, while a body double might be used for mobile shots," he says.
