Sharad Kelkar's working day ended in disaster yesterday on the sets of Sindoor Tere Naam Ka, when he was seriously injured on the sets and had to be rushed to hospital. Sharad lost his balance and slipped, landing on a glass table. The glass of tea he had been holding in his hand broke into pieces and slit his fore-arm. The actor was bleeding profusely when he was rushed to the hospital.
"I had just finished my shot and was looking for a chair near the monitor," says Kelkar. "The ground was wet and slippery due to the rains."
"I was in terrible pain, despite taking painkillers," he adds. "The cuts were very deep, although stitches were not required. I also took a tetanus shot." However, he did not cancel his shoot. "I didn't want my producer to suffer," he says.
Incidentally, his wife Keerti Gaikawad Kelkar was shooting with him. She went into shock after the accident. "It's scary to see anyone going through so much pain, says Keerti. "I felt so helpless, standing by and seeing him in agony."
Kelkar even shot the serial for an hour, after being bandaged "However, I've promised Keerti that I'll be taking it easy for a couple of days," he says.
