Barely back after recuperating from the earlier accident, Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi was injured once again when he fell down from horse back during the shooting of a film at Ranikhet in Almora district of Uttaranchal.

"Vivek Oberoi suffered a minor fracture in his left hand yesterday and is presently convalescing", Superintendent of Police (Almora), Mohan Singh Bangyal, said.

Oberoi was riding a horse for the shooting of Subhash Ghai-directed "Kisna". Suddenly, the horse started running and the actor lost balance and fell, Bangyal said.

The injury sustained by Vivek is the second one he has suffered in the course of shooting. Last year, he broke his leg in Kolkata while shooting for a Mani Ratnam film.

Vivek's father, Suresh Oberoi and film actress Aishwarya Rai telephoned him to ask about his condition.
