New Delhi, Sept 07 (ANI): Recently, there were reports that actress Kangana Ranaut suffered a major injury on the sets of her upcoming period drama ' Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi'. The reports came out to be true as she suffered a deep cut on her forehead during a sword fight scene. While giving an interview to the Filmfare magazine, she opened about the whole incident. She said, "I was doing a sword-fighting scene with three men. I guess Nihar (Pandya, who plays Rao Saheb) forgot his cue and he hit on my head. There's no way of avoiding something so unfortunate like this. Especially, when it's choreography related. It was a bad accident. It exposed my bone and my face was full of blood." She also shared that if you give blood to play such a woman, it's worth it. She added, “But when you talk about Laxmibai, she was the general of an army. She was an extraordinary woman. How many battles she fought in the prime of her youth! She was like a 'killing machine'. So it would be a shame to try to get into character superficially through clothes, make-up, hair styles and jewellery. And if you give blood to play such a woman, it's worth it. To be honest, I'm only happy. You can't hope to immortalise the greatest warrior of all times without having a battle scar on your face. So it's justified." On a related note, Kangana is trying all means to get into the skin of her role of warrior queen, Rani Laxmibai. The film will hit the theatres on April 27 next year.
