Amitabh Bachchan shares his bond with Aishwarya Rai
After Aishwarya Rai sustained injury on the sets of Khakee in Nashik, Amitabh Bachchan got upset and wasting no time he arranged for Anil Ambani’s private plane to fly her back to Mumbai.
Amitabh further
revealed that he couldn’t sleep for couple of days following Aishwarya’s injury.
Amitabh and Aishwarya have worked together in several films such as Mohabbatein, Khakee, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, and Sarkar Raj.
Briefing over the incident, Amitabh revealed to the media that they were shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi’s Khakee on the road outside Nashik. The stuntman drove too fast, at 60, 70 kilometres per hour, and skidded. All of them jumped out of the way. But Aishwarya Rai and Tusshar Kapoor couldn’t move fast enough. The car slammed into her chair. It was terrifying.”
The car hit her and took her down a crevice and slammed into a cactus plant. Akshay Kumar pulled the car out and extricated her. Rushed her to hospital and had to go through terrible crowd management problems. I have gone through this ‘VIP syndrome’ before. Thank God the hospital and doctor were very good.
He added that the Nashik commissioner of police organised everything. The legend share 9shared how Anil Ambani’s private plane was organised to send the actress back to her home as he stated, “I asked Aishwarya’s mother if she wanted to take her daughter back to Mumbai.
We organised Anil Ambani’s private plane. Since there is no night landing facility in Nashik, we had to take permission from Delhi to land the plane at the military base which is 45 minutes away from the hospital. The seats had to be removed from the aircraft.”
The media portals, at that time, had reported the accident as a small incident. Criticising such people, Amitabh concluded everyone is brushing it off as a small incident blown out of proportion.
For two nights Anil couldn’t sleep. To see this happen in front of mA eyes! Her back was lacerated with cactus thorns. The bone in the rear portion of her feet is broken. She suffered severe cuts. And her injury was reported as trivial.”
