Mumbai, March 25 : Television actor Akshay Dev Bindra has opened up about sustaining a hairline fracture while shooting an intense sequence on the sets of his show 'Kumkum Bhagya.'

Speaking about the injury, the actor said, 'The sequence was dramatic because I had to get into a proper physical battle. The team had made sure that all the safety measures were in place, but unfortunately I happened to injure my right little finger. It is a hairline fracture; however, initially, I had just felt some pain. In the heat of the moment, I didn't realize that it would be a fracture, but as soon as the pain started intensifying, I realised it wasn't something normal.'

He added, 'The doctors confirmed that it was a fracture, but that hasn't stopped me from shooting. The show must go on, right? The cast and crew have been incredibly supportive, taking great care of me while ensuring that I get the necessary rest and medication. I am truly grateful for their concern and best wishes. Knowing that so many people care for me keeps me motivated and makes this journey even more special.'
