Last year was a year of road accidents. Any television star worth his or her salt was at the receiving end of some car trouble or the other. This year Eijaz Khan's name seems to lead the rest.
The television actor better known as Kavya of Kavyanajali met with an accident yesterday on his way to Saki Naka to shoot for Kavyanjali. He recounts: "I was driving on the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road, which is partially blocked because of the construction work. Before I could realise it, a BEST bus hit my car (a black Chevrolet Tavera) from behind and it rolled, skidded and turned turtle. This is the second time I have suffered because our government doesn't think it necessary to complete projects. I have been seeing this road being repaired for ever. Warning signs are non-existent. A two-lane road turns into a single lane without ant sign board."
However things didn't end there. He continues: "I was stuck in the car and was calling out for help. But people being star-struck, just stood there. So, I called up someone from the production team, who rushed to the site and rescued me."
Obviously, the car is in a bad shape. Khan says that the "right side, the top portion and all the mirrors have almost ceased to exist."
Of the several cars that he has owned so far, the black Tavera is his favourite. Khan says, "I prefer to drive it to the sets because it's big enough to carry all my things; clothes, suits, vanity box and also my cycle… just in case I am in a mood to cycle back home!"
Fortunately Khan is in one piece and could carry on with his day's work. "I am fine and that's most important," he says
