Amitabh Bachchan opens up on how he accidentally hurt Vinod Khanna while filming for Muqaddar Ka Sikander – Times of India

While talking about a song from Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Bachchan was asked by a KBC contestant, if it was true that he threw a glass at Vinod Khanna which hurt him and hence the latter had to get sixteen stitches.

Responding to the question, Amitabh then shared what had really happened. Describing the shot, he said, “Yes, that is correct, it was a mistake and I am very sorry about it. (In the shot) we are drinking at the bar and I get to know that my lover is in love with somebody else, and I get angry, so I throw a glass down, but it hit his chin instead. He was hurt”.

He added, “He was a very close friend and we rushed him to the hospital and the doctors gave him stitches and then I took him home to his wife, and apologised to her too for the accident and left.”

Earlier too, the actress revisited his 1975 hit film Deewar and shared an anecdote about shooting the temple scene in the film. He shared, “We had begun at 7am and I sat in my room and till 10pm. I did not leave, speculating how to to go about the scene. This was a character who did not believe in God and had to pray for his mother’s life so what should I say and enact in front of the camera. But let me tell you I would like to salute the writer who wrote the script and his first line was ‘Aaj khush toh bahut hongey tum’ what a line hain ki nahi (You must be very happy today, what a line isn’t it?)”.

Meanwhile on the work front, Amitabh is now basking in the success of Goodbye. The film which also stars Rashmika Mandanna, and Pavail Gulati has been well received by audience and critics alike.
