In the scene, she was expected to duck when Nihar swung the sword at her, but because the timing was wrong, the sword hit her between her brows resulting in 15 stitches. Kangana is now at the ICCU of Apollo hospital and is expected to be discharged next week.

Sharing details, Producer Kamal Jain quotes, “Kangana had to duck when Nihar attacked her, but the timing went wrong and Nihar’s sword hit her forehead instead. It made a deep cut between her eyebrows. The drive to the hospital took a good 30 minutes, but she put up a brave front despite the pain and bleeding. Nihar was apologetic and felt terrible, but Kangana pacified him.” We wish a speedy recovery to the Queen of Bollywood.
