Actor Ali Zafar met with an accident during the shooting of a commercial in Bangkok recently. A glass bottle broke on the set and one of the pieces hit him hard on his face.
A source close to the actor says that the shard missed his right eye by a whisker. `Luckily, it only hit him below his right eye and he was taken to the hospital for a few stitches,` adds the source.
The injured actor is now busy with the shoot for his next film, Kill Dill. `Upon his return to Mumbai, Ali -- despite being in pain -- decided to continue shooting as certain key scenes needed to be shot with other actors. His injury has been masked with makeup,` says the source.
When contacted, the Tere Bin Laden actor didn't deny the news. `It's true that I got injured during an ad shoot. But it so happened that we were shooting an action sequence for Kill Dill and my bruised face worked well for the scene,` he said, adding that he is also gearing up for the promotion of his next release Total Siyappa, where he plays a Pakistani boy in love with an Indian girl.
