Indian actress Priyanka Chopra injures herself during filming

MUMBAI, India:
Popular Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra tore a muscle while filming a stunt for an action-packed role in her new movie, a newspaper reported Friday.

In the film Chopra plays a bodyguard skilled in an ancient Sikh martial art, wielding a sword and a 'kirpan,' or dagger, traditionally carried by followers of the Sikh religion.

"I was doing a somersault when I felt something give way inside my rib cage," The Times of India quoted her as saying. "I've apparently suffered a tear in my abs."

The former Miss World is among the few Indian actresses to take on action roles and do her own stunts.

Although she was advised to rest, her busy schedule did not permit a break for the next few weeks — she has dance scenes and more stunts to film.
