Aishwarya Rai added Bachchan to her surname when she tied the knot with Abhishek Bachchan in 2007. The actress has worked with her father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan, in many films. However, years before her wedding, when Aishwarya and Amitabh worked together in the film, Khakee, the actress met with a terrible accident during the shoot.
When Aishwarya Rai met with a fatal accident on the sets of ‘Khakee’
It so happened that a stuntman, who was driving too fast, lost control and rammed the car into Aishwarya’s chair. The actress was caught off guard by the speeding vehicle and got so badly hurt that she was rushed to the hospital. During a conversation with Rediff, Big B revealed what exactly happened and said:
“We were shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi’s Khakee on the road outside Nashik. The stuntman drove too fast, at 60, 70 kilometres per hour, and skidded. All of us jumped out of the way. But Aishwarya Rai and Tusshar Kapoor couldn’t move fast enough. The car slammed into her chair. It was terrifying.”
