Now that’s what you call life imitating art. Indian actress Kangana Ranaut is known for her professionalism and no-holds-barred attitude towards life.

These days she is in the US filming an upcoming movie. Last week while coming from a location in a suburban area to her hotel in Atlanta, the driver of the vehicle she was travelling by fell unconscious while driving on the highway. Her bodyguard immediately tried to take control of the driving wheel but could not do much about it and the car, after a few shaky moments, rammed into an iron fence.

Fortunately, none of the passengers, including Kangana R, were seriously hurt. Those who were there say she suffered a few scratches on her forehead. The professional that she is, the actress was on location the very next morning, shooting the next sequence of the story. Cool!

So how did they hide the scratches on the forehead? Oh, they didn’t have to, it’s an Indian film. No one cares about continuity jumps.
