Kareena Kapoor suffered a sprain in the neck yesterday while shooting for beau Saif Ali Khan's Agent Vinod in Delhi. Sriram Raghavan directs.
A unit source informs, "Bebo plays a role that has grey shades and will be doing her own stunts for the first time. She's extremely excited and has toned her body for it.
Yesterday she had to eject from a helicopter using a harness and fire guns while at it. She fell from the harness at some distance from the ground, spraining her neck. She was in a lot of pain and couldn't get up."
Luckily, there are two medical teams on the sets 24X7 (Saif was shooting a chase scene on another set a little distance away) and one was immediately rushed to assist Bebo.
"When she resumed shooting, Kareena had bruises but gamely continued shooting after taking painkillers and injections. A concerned Saif kept calling her every hour to check if she was fine."
After she completes this shoot, it's back to Mumbai today to start work on Reema Kagti's Aamir starrer. Says the actress, "I have not done this kind of action before.
I had a neck sprain as I had to do a fall from the harness. I never thought I would enjoy action but I am surprised how much I love it here.
Peter, the action guy, makes things so easy. I am currently not on medication but ointments and painkillers and am still shooting for Agent Vinod."
