It often happens that Bollywood actors end up getting injured while shooting for films. Be it Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of Darr, or the megastar of the Hindi film industry, Amitabh Bachchan while he was shooting for Coolie, there have been many such instances in Bollywood. A similar incident happened with veteran actor Vinod Khanna while he was shooting for the movie, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978). The movie was directed by Prakash Mehra and also featured Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha and Amjad Khan in important roles.
Amitabh Bachchan and Vinod Khanna were not just co-actors, they were also good friends. In an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Piku actor once opened up about the incident. Vinod Khanna got injured on the sets because of one mistake by Amitabh Bachchan. In the episode, he shared how he felt extremely guilty as the Chandni actor had to get stitches.
The Baghban actor claimed that the duo were being filmed at a bar and Amitabh Bachchan got to know that the character of his lover is in love with someone else. This angered him and he threw a glass down. However, the glass caught the chin of Vinod Khanna and he got injured.
He was immediately rushed to the hospital and got sixteen stitches and was then later taken to his wife. Amitabh Bachchan shared that he kept apologising to the couple and felt guilt-ridden.
