Actor Anupam Kher sustained injuries on the set of his upcoming film, Vijay 69. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Kher shared a picture of himself with an arm sling and wrote, “Aap sports film karo aur aap ghaayal na ho!! Aisa kaise ho sakata hai? Kal #vijay69 ki shooting ke dauran kandhe mein achi khaasi choth lagi (sic).”

He jokingly added, “Dard to hai par jab kandhe par sling lagaane vaale bhaiya ne bataaya ki unhone hi @iamsrk aur @hrithikroshan ke kandhon ko is sling se sajaaya tha to pata nahin kyon dard ka ehasaas thoda kam ho gaya (sic).”

Kher added that he would rest it out for a couple of days to let the pain subside: “Ek do dinon baad shooting jaari rahegi.”

The 68-year-old said his mother, Dulari, claimed that he fell prey to the evil eye: “Waese maa ne suna to boli, ‘Aur dikha apni body duniya ko!! Tujhe nazar lag gayi!’ Maine jawaab diya, ‘Maa! Girte hai shahasvaar hi maidaan e jang mein. Vo tiphal kya girega jo ghutno ke bal chale!’ Maa jhaapad maarte maarte rukh gayi (sic).”

Reacting to the picture, actor Neena Gupta asked, “Oh what have you done?” To which, Kher replied, “That’s what happens to great artists like you and me! Mild injuries (sic).”
