Kickass Queen Priyanka Chopra was rendered hors de combat on the sets of Drona at Film City in Mumbai recently while attempting to do somersaults for a dangerous action scene.

Priyanka, who went through a martial arts course while making Don , is now taking tips on an ancient Sikh fighting art called ‘Gagta’.

Her role in Goldie Behl’s Drona has Priyanka playing Abhishek Bachchan’s bodyguard. And a certain amount of stunts are required to be performed by the former beauty queen in this movie.

Priyanka, of course, is no newcomer to such scenes. And she threw herself into the role with gusto. Until the injury. “I was having such fun until then,” she winced. “In fact, when I arrive on the sets, I announce, ‘I’m armed and dangerous. So please stay away.”

She described the accident, “I was doing a somersault when I felt something give way inside my rib cage. I’ve apparently suffered a tear in my abs.”

Priyanka’s been advised complete rest. “If it doesn’t rest it won’t heal. But here I am, shooting a vigorous dance song for Rajiv Surti. It’s so painful. I’ve no choice but to continue,” she groaned. Soon after, Abhishek and she are leaving for Namibia to shoot some more stunts and songs. “I don’t know how I’ll manage,” said a worried Priyanka.
