Actress Shilpa Shirodkar had a major fall on the set of TV show "Silsila Pyaar Ka".
A particular sequence required the actress, who plays the role of Janki in the Star Plus show, to walk down the stairs while delivering her dialogues. While doing so, she lost her balance and accidentally slipped on the staircase recently.
The unit members, including her co-star Abhay Vakil, immediately rushed towards her since she was injured and couldn't stand on her own.
Recalling the incident, Shilpa said in a statement: "I slipped on the set very badly and hurt my back. It was an accident. I thought for next one or two months that I wouldn't be able to get up from the bed, but luckily it is not a fracture."
"I can't walk right now so thankfully my director has tweaked my part and made it in a way, so that I can rest at home," she added.

Karan Mehra's moustache love
Karan Mehra will be getting a 'Rajasthani' makeover for a sequence in TV show "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", and the actor was happy to flaunt a 'mooch' instead of scruffy stubble.
When it comes to real life, the actor doesn't seem to have much love for a moustache and prefers a clean-shaven look.
"I believe that staying clean-shaven suits me. Not that I don't like it otherwise, but I've had this look for the longest time. Also, when these guys told me that I'd have to wear a moustache and I had the option to choose from a moustache and a stubble, I knew I would prefer the moustache since it is easier to wear and a look I'd support," Karan said in a statement.
Karan is popular for playing Naitik Singhannia on the Star Plus show.
As a treat to the small screen audience, "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" and "Diya Aur Baati Hum" will soon be seen addressing the social issue of child-trafficking through a special integration.
