As per a Mid-Day report, the 38-year-old lost her balance during the dance and fractured her left foot.

Shraddha Kapoor injured on Eetha set?

According to a report shared by Mid-Day, Shraddha Kapoor was performing Lavani, a traditional folk dance and music style from Maharashtra, when the accident occurred. A source said, “Lavani music characteristically has fast-paced beats and a quick tempo. In this number composed by Ajay-Atul, Shraddha, sporting a vibrant Nauvari saree, heavy jewellery, and a kamarpatta, had to perform a series of steps in succession, to the beats of the dholki. To look the part of a young Vithabai, the actor has put on over 15 kilos. In one step, she mistakenly put all her weight on her left foot and lost her balance as a result.”

According to the report, director Laxman Utekar called off the shoot after the incident, but Shraddha suggested adjusting the schedule to film close-up shots instead. The team will return to set two weeks later, once she has fully recovered.

Neither the makers nor Shraddha Kapoor have commented on the reports yet.
