Anu Aggarwal Recalls Injury During Unfinished Dev Anand Film Shoot
Anu Aggarwal was acting in a film with Dev Anand when she slipped and hurt the bottom of her spine.
She said the injury fractured her coccyx.
No one from the production helped her, so a neighbour gave her the name of a doctor.
The doctor said she needed an operation quickly.
Anu recovered and was ready to act again.
However, the film stopped for three months because the production ran out of money.
She then left to attend a planned Dhrupad retreat in France.
She said this marked the beginning of a new part of her life.

Actress who recalled her injury during the unfinished film’s production
“Cinema Last shoot There was one film I had signed before my sabbatical. I was shooting a scene with Dev Anand when I slipped, fell onto a car and fractured my coccyx. What stayed with me was not just the injury. I was living alone, and there was no one from the production helped.”
