Actor Arjun Bijlani, who is a contestant on the upcoming ninth season of Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa, was injured while rehearsing on the set of the dance reality show.
While practising for his performance, Bijlani accidentally landed on his pelvic bone. Doctors have advised him to rest for a week.
“No one wants to get injured by choice. While practising, I fell and got hurt,” Bijlani said in a statement.
The actor is best known for his roles in shows Left Right Left, Miley Jab Hum Tum and Naagin.
It’s not just Bijlani who had to visit a doctor. His choreographer Bhawna Khanduja recently fell ill as well.
“Bhawna is one of the hardest working individuals I have seen. The girl is always on the go, coming up with new steps so that our performance can stand out from the rest. Recently she wasn’t keeping well, but she still wanted to continue with the rehearsals,” Bijlani said.
“It was a Herculean task for us to convince her to take some time off. Compared to me, Bhawna’s determination to take home the Jhalak trophy is much stronger. I just hope that I will be able to match her enthusiasm sufficiently through my performance,” he added.
Apart from Bijlani, the Colors show will also feature actors Sidhanth Gupta, Shantanu Maheswari, Surveen Chawla, Karishma Tanna, Helly Shah and Shakti Arora.
