Slap Leaves Actress Paralyzed: A Tragic Film Set Accident
16 Dec
Summary
- An on-set slap in 1942 caused Lalita Pawar's paralysis.
- The incident led to her replacement and loss of acting work.
- She eventually recovered and returned to acting in character roles.
In 1942, actress Lalita Pawar experienced a devastating on-set accident that left her paralyzed. During the filming of 'Jung-E-Azadi', a slap intended for a scene rendered her unconscious, causing her to bleed from her ears.
This traumatic event resulted in Pawar being replaced in the film and facing widespread cancellation of her acting contracts. She received notice that her illness had halted production, leading to her being removed from projects.
Although one film contract for 'Amrit' was honored, it was delayed by two and a half years until her recovery. Pawar eventually resumed her acting career, but the incident marked a significant shift, limiting her opportunities to character roles.
