When Akki sent Manish flying
Akshay Kumar was shooting for a reality show in Goregaon on Tuesday night when he got an unexpected chance to flaunt his martial arts skills. But when host Manish Paul asked the Khiladi Kumar to show him some of his moves, little did he know what lay in store. Revealed an eyewitness, “What started as a casual conversation, ended with a minor injury for Manish. Akshay warned him to keep his distance but Manish came in the way of one of Akshay’s kicks. Though it was unintentional, it sent Manish flying and he landed with a thud a few feet away.”
The source added that everybody present on the sets of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa burst out laughing, not realising the gravity of the situation. But Manish was in a lot of pain and the shoot had to be stopped for a while. "But he took the knock on his chin and later even hugged Akshay,” said the source.
Confirming the same, Manish told Mirror, “It was terrifying, but I was the one who had insisted that he show me the stunt. He didn’t mean to hurt me but the impact sent me crashing and I was blinded by the pain. But I felt good that this little tragedy led to an unintentional bout of laughter. Even though it was embarrassing, I was happy that at least it entertained people.”
