New Delhi: Wrestler-turned-actor Danish Akhtar, who is seen playing the role of Lord Hanuman in TV show “Siya Ke Ram”, met with an unfortunate accident on the sets recently. Danish is a pyrophobe (fear of fire), but to shoot the sequence when Hanuman is burning Lanka, the actor had to be free of any worry. Being a professional, he agreed to do the scene, but unfortunately his faux tail caught fire while shooting for the Star Plus show, read a statement. Talking about it, he said: “It is absolutely true that I fear fire. But when it comes to acting, I do try my best to do full justice. So, I agreed to leave my fears behind and went ahead. “When my tail caught fire, at first I panicked... My heart beat was racing fast and eventually I started feeling dizzy. But the production team was very generous... They immediately got me out of the mess and provided me with the best facilities to get over the incident and re-shoot the entire scene.”
