Actor Karanvir Bohra Suffers Severe Injury on the Sets of Saubhagyavati Bhava

Actor Karanvir Bohra Suffers Severe Injury on the Sets of Saubhagyavati Bhava

Renowned actor Karanvir Bohra faced a significant setback today on the sets of the popular TV series, Saubhagyavati Bhava, as he sustained a serious injury during filming. The incident occurred when Bohra fell, impacting the same knee he had previously undergone surgery on. Additionally, his elbow and hand were also injured in the unfortunate mishap.

The production team took prompt action, deciding to wrap up the shoot early to prioritize Bohra's well-being. The actor was immediately escorted to a nearby clinic for a thorough medical evaluation and treatment.

Karanvir Bohra, known for his dedication to his craft, had been actively involved in the shoot when the accident transpired. The production company expresses their concern for his health and wishes him a speedy recovery.

Speaking about the injury, the actor shared exclusively with ETimes TV, "I was so involved in the shoot because the scene was about Raghav trying to kill my daughter, so I had to come with that zest and gusto. I had to come running at full speed and the carpet was a little slippery and I slipped and fell straight on my fingers, elbow and my knee. It was so painful. It was the same knee that I had injured in Bigg Boss. The fingers are a little swollen and the X-Ray person has just come right now on the sets. I had to return to the shooting as they say, the show must go on. And especially when you are shooting for a TV show, you can't take too many breaks."

He further shared, "When I fell my wife Teejay was sitting right there and she thought wow what a realistic acting. She felt the take was still on but when she saw people come running, she realised something was wrong. Everybody was so concerned, in fact my on-screen daughter Khushi, she called me around 2-3 times. It was really sweet, even Daadi and other actors from the show showed concern. I am back to the shoot because that's how television life is. We can't stop because we always have to deliver our episodes on time."

Meri Pyari Nikkii actor-director Rajeev Singh on making limited budget films: To me, the true hero is the story, followed by direction, and then the actors In a realm where success is often dictated by big budgets, "Meri Pyari Nikkii," now available on JioCinema, stands as an exception. Set in the bustling city of Mumbai, the film weaves a gripping tale of a courier boy targeting women in happy marriages, demanding a love akin to that of a real wife. Those who resist meet a fatal end, and the unpredictable plot has captivated audiences, making the film a resounding success. Rajeev Singh, making his debut as the writer, director, and lead actor, is thrilled with the response and recently shared his experiences, addressing the challenges of creating films on a budget. Hailing from the humble village of Darigaon in Bihar, Rajeev stresses that filmmaking transcends mere budget considerations. He emphasises, "In the world of creating films and series, it's not all about the money. To me, the true hero is the story, followed by direction, and then the actors, and so forth. What truly made a difference for me was pouring in relentless effort and unwavering willpower to bring a series or film to life. Hailing from a humble village in Bihar, entering Bollywood felt like an impossible dream. Yet, with my deep love for cinema, self-belief, and a sprinkle of blessings from above, I persisted, never dwelling on the problems but always seeking out the solutions." When asked about juggling directing and acting with limited support, he reflects, "Facing the challenge was tough, no doubt, but it wasn't unfamiliar ground. I've crafted many short films with similar, or even fewer, resources, learning to make things happen. And my journey as an actor in serials, international films, Bollywood, and web series has been my strength, guiding me through the ups and downs, making me stronger in the process." On foreseeing the success of "Meri Pyari Nikkii," Rajeev admits, "I always believed in the story, and while I knew it would resonate, I honestly never expected this much love from people." When probed for the secret behind the series' success, he dispels any notion of secrets, emphasising the basics: a gripping and entertaining story, devoid of unnecessary elements, with every moment sparking curiosity. He underscores the importance of actors giving their all, a 100% commitment. Looking forward, Rajeev reveals, "I have many stories lined up, and my team and I are deciding on which one to take next." As an inspiration for aspiring filmmakers and actors, Rajeev Singh has not only crafted a compelling series but also shared valuable lessons in storytelling and determination. "Meri Pyari Nikkii" unfolds the twisted journey of its protagonist, weaving a web of lies and deceit that leaves a trail of death and destruction. With its engaging plot and talented cast, the series is a must-watch for thriller genre enthusiasts. Produced by Shoorra Films, "Meri Pyari Nikkii" is written and directed by Rajeev Singh, featuring Anju Jadhav, Rajeev Singh, Khushi Dani, Vivek Tripathi, Anuj Bhardwaj, and Pradeep Kumar Tiwari in pivotal roles.
