Actor Abhishek Bachchan, who received six stitches above his right eye earlier this month after an accident on a movie set, has now injured his left finger - during shooting for the same film.

"...I fractured my finger. It's what I would like to call a sympathy wound, " Abhishek posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Last time he got injured on the sets of "Bol Bachchan" in Jaipur and this time it happened when the 35-year-old was returning to his hotel room after shooting for the Rohit Shetty film.
