Saina: Parineeti Chopra suffers injury on sets despite 'care', shares pic of hurt neck
Parineeti Chopra suffered an injury on sets of 'Saina' despite all 'care'. The actor shared a pic of her hurt neck, and promised to take rest till she recovers.
A sportsperson puts in intense efforts to achieve success. And it’s not different for an actor to step into the shoes of such an athlete. From acing the physique and the style of play, enacting a sportsperson on the screen is not a cakewalk. Parineeti Chopra understood how difficult it is to be a sportsperson recently. As she began the shoot of the biopic on badminton ace Saina Nehwal, the actor suffered an injury on her neck. The Ishaqzaade star rued the injury despite the best of efforts taken by her and her team and promised to take adequate rest before taking up the racquet again.
On Friday evening, Parineeti Chopra shared a photograph on social media of her injury. A blue bandage is stuck to the back of her neck as she is seated on the floor. She captioned the post, “Dude. Me and the entire team of Saina have been taking so much care that I shouldn't get an injury, but s**t happens. Will rest it as much as I can before I can start playing badminton again. 🙏 #SainaNehwalBiopic .”
Another actor, Farhan Akhtar had suffered an injury in his hand while prepping for Toofan
Parineeti Chopra has been prepping hard for the Saina Nehwal biopic. The actor used to be constantly snapped on her way to the badminton rehearsals. She would also share regular updates on her training process and the shooting. The Namastey England star had recently shared a snap of her homework, the questions to ask Saina, before she met the Olympic bronze medal winner. A day before her injury, Parineeti had shared an adorable snap with Saina and indicated the month-long shooting schedule, “30 more days to be her ... and live her!! 🌺 #SainaNehwalBiopic @nehwalsaina.”
Parineeti had kicked off the shooting of the movie last month. At that time, Saina had released Parineeti’s first look, playing on the court. She had written, “Looking forward to this journey together! My best wishes to the team #SainaNehwalBiopic 🙌”
Saina is being directed by actor-filmmaker Amole Gupte. T-Series is one of the banners associated with the movie. Before Parineeti, Shraddha Kapoor was to star in the movie. However, despite training for many months, she quit the project.
