AMITABH BACHCHAN ESCAPES CAMEL ATTACK
Bollywood legend AMITABH BACHCHAN narrowly escaped death this week (begs29JAN07) when he was kicked in the head by a camel on the set of new film EKLEVYA.
The 64-year-old actor, who plays a royal guard in the period drama, only survived the potentially deadly blow because his skull was protected by the traditional Rajasthani turban he was wearing for the scene.
Bachchan is reported to have suffered some dizziness, and is thankful he was not severely injured.
Director VIDHU VINOD CHOPRA says, "Mr Bachchan kept saying, ‘The turban saved my life.’ "I would have never believed it happened, but then we spotted the camel in action on the monitor."
