Freddy reveals,''I should have been more careful.

Recalling the incident, Freddy reveals, “I should have been more careful. I remember director (Apoorva Lakhia) informing me about us having all the possibilities and safety harness to execute the scene. But I insisted of doing it on myown but the end result didn’t turn out to be the way it should have been and as per my and Apoorva sir’s expectations. It was more risky because it wasn’t the last day of the shootand if I was hurt, the shoot would have got stalled. But luckily nothing of that sorthappened and I continued shooting.”

“Next day, I faced a lot of difficulties with severeback injuries. A few things I learnt from the incident that I am an actor and not a stuntman but sometimes an actor gets carried away in the name of realism and to give audiencesrealistic experience. But sometimes we forget that there are a lot of people associated with us and working with us for a project which can go haywire if any unfortunate incidenthappens on the set. Going ahead, I will ensure that I will play it safe so that I don’thurt myself and secondly it doesn’t hamper the shoot schedule,” adds Freddy
