Vivek had the accident when we were practicing. We had the morning off, so we decided to go horse riding. Antonia is a fabulous rider, Vivek was learning how to ride for the film, and I didn't want to be left out, so I joined them!
Vivek's horse was way in front, and Antonia and I were following him on our horses. Antonia was giving me tips because that was the second time I had ever sat on a horse. It was a pahadi horse, not a well trained one. I was supposed to join Vivek, when suddenly, my horse started galloping.
It was a deep-winding tar road. I would have definitely fallen off because I had left the reins and was holding on to the horse's neck and the saddle! But before I knew it, I had passed his horse. There was a steep turn and my horse slid. But fortunately, he steadied himself. But Vivek's horse slid and fell. Vivek was very badly hurt.
When he fell, all of us rushed to him. We asked Usman, who looked after the horses, to get a car because Vivek was grazed all over. After an hour, no car arrived so we hitched a ride. It was quite an adventure!
Antonia is a fantastic actress. She is a very sweet person. We have only one scene together.
