Priyanka and Hrithik suffer burns on Agneepath sets

Priyanka and Hrithik suffer burns on Agneepath sets. While Duggu suffered minor burns shooting an aarti scene, PC escaped unscathed but her lehenga caught fire and had to be change.

An aarti scene found Agneepath stars Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra playing with fire ¦ quite literally. While Duggu suffered minor burns shooting the scene, PC escaped unscathed but her lehenga caught fire and had to be change.

This is HR's second accident on the sets of the Karan Johar production. He hurt his hand while breaking a coconut in an earlier scene. His accidents have proved lucky for his films in the past. We wonder if it will bring luck to this one too.

All in a day's work

A source recounts what happened: "Hrithik was shooting the Ganapati puja scene. He was holding a big thali with several lit diyas (lamps) and doing the aarti. During one rotation, one diya toppled over, spilling hot oil on his hand, scalding it. 

No one was any wiser for it until Duggu rushed to apply ice on the affected area. When the crew understood, the shoot was immediately stopped. It wasn't a serious injury but Hrithik was in pain. He resumed shooting as soon as his pain subsided. He then joked about his injuries being lucky charms for his films."

Yesterday, on the second day of shooting the scene, "PC's lehenga caught fire from the diyas of aarti and got burnt at the edges. She noticed it quickly and wasn't hurt but had to change her lehenga and wear a new one," reveals another source. Hrithik and PC were unavailable for comment.

Hrithik Roshan's car runs over a beggar!

It all started when Hrithik came out of Chopra’s house in his car. Three beggars came knocking at the car window.

Hrithik’s driver, who has been with the star since his first film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, and has never erred so far, slowed the car down.

But one of the beggars (circled in red, Pic 1) was up to some real mischief.

The beggar in question threw himself before the car and started screaming that he had been hurt.

He held his leg and turned sides yelling, ‘Maar dala, maar dala’. (See, Pic 2)

A few miscreants joined the scene and started pulling the beggar back to his feet, without succeeding. (See, Pic 3) “The idea was to convince Hrithik that the beggar had been badly injured,” informed a source.

Says an eyewitness, “Hrithik and his driver knew that they were not wrong. But then they got really scared. What if the beggar had been really hurt?”

The driver who was as concerned about the whole thing as Hrithik and a little nervous about the same, since he was the one who was driving the car, went back to the spot immediately after dropping the actor off.

Seeing that it was all a big drama created by some crazy fans, he reported back to Roshan, to put him at ease.

When contacted, Hrithik confirmed and said, “I was concerned. I sent my man back with money and a car to take the beggar to a hospital if need be. But when he got there, he realized that he was faking it,” and added, “It was a ploy to get me out of the car.”

I was concerned. But later realised, it was just a ploy to get me out of the car. It was all fake - Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik's kids confused with two daddys and one mommy

Looks like Hrithik Roshan's wax statue has made more news this year than the actor himself. Well, coming to the news, Hrithik's kids Hridhaan and Hrehaan were confused at the launch of their father's replica in Madame Tussauds. The kids couldn't believe their eyes when they saw two daddy's standing beside each other with one mommy. 

The kids at first couldn't make out the difference between the original paa and the duplicate paa. But, later they recognised their original father with flesh and blood and kept holding his hands throughout the party.

However, people and the media were impatiently hovering the place to have a look at the master piece of the evening, the wax statue of the original super hero of Bollywood.
