Bollywood actress Ayesha Takiahad a close brush with disaster when a stunt for her latest film went horribly wrong, leaving her on railway tracks next to a running train, her producer said in an interview published Friday.
During shooting for director Nagesh Kukunoor's new film ''Dor'' in the western state of Rajasthan, Takia, 21, decided to do her own stunt, executive producer Elahi told the Times of India newspaper. Many people in the region go by just one name.
''It was a train sequence and Ayesha had to run alongside the train,'' Elahi said. ''Suddenly we couldn't see her any more. We all thought that she must have come under the train,'' he said.
The actress tripped over a pipe and landed right next to the rails, Elahi told the paper. He said she was injured but provided no details.
''She was very close to the tracks, luckily she was alive,'' Elahi said.
Takia has made several films since her award-winning debut performance in ''Taarzan: The Wonder Car'' at the age of 17.
