Pankaj Dheer's Near-Blindness on Mahabharat Set
Pankaj Dheer, known for playing Karna in B.R. Chopra's Mahabharat, passed away on October 15th at 68 due to pancreatic cancer.
After his passing, stories from his on-set days have emerged, including a near-accidental moment where he almost went blind due to a technical error during a fight scene.
“When they took out the arrow, a fountain of blood came out. Everyone got ice but I was just able to hear people saying, ‘Pankaj Dheer andha hogaeya hai (Pankaj Dheer has become blind)’. And I was thinking my career has just started what has happened to me?”
The incident occurred during a fight scene between Arjun and Karna, where an arrow was supposed to break after touching his brow but instead hit the corner of his eye due to a technical fault.
