Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan fell from a horse and was injured during riding lessons for his role in Ashutosh Gowariker's forthcoming "Akbar Jodha".

The incident occurred recently at the Mahalaxmi race course.

Hrithik received some bruises on his arms as the horse dragged him for some distance before he could set himself free. However, the actor not only resumed his practice but attended his sword-fighting training the same day after taking first aid.

Hrithik's sci-fi thriller "Krrish" stormed the box office this summer. He is gearing up for his next release "Dhoom 2", where he plays a negative role.
