Dia Mirza was out of action for some time over the weekend as she was nursing a torn ligament in her left hand. The incident occurred while she was shooting a difficult scene for Shoojit Sircar’s Shoe-bite in Simla.

While trying to precariously slid into the rear seat of a car as it was parked on a steep slope, she balanced herself by clutching the boot of the vehicle. All was fine until a member of the unit unknowingly slammed the boot shut on Mirza’s hand, sending the entire unit into a panic.

Assuming the worst that Mirza had broken her fingers, she was rushed to a nearby hospital, with everyone wondering if she would be able to accomplish the shooting of some very significant scenes. Thankfully nothing was broken but she did sustain a torn ligament. Freezing weather conditions in Simla did nothing to ease the pain either, to say the least.

With medication and some caution on the actress’ part not to left anything heavy with her injured hand should help considerably in her recovery.
