When Ayesha Takia escaped death

The buxom Ayesha Takia had a close brush with death when a stunt for her latest film Dor went horribly wrong.

The mishap left Ayesha on railway tracks next to a running train, a report quoted the producer of the film as saying.

During shooting for the Nagesh Kukunoor directed venture in Rajasthan, Ayesha, 21, decided to do her own stunt, executive producer Elahi said.

"It was a train sequence and Ayesha had to run alongside the train," Elahi said. "Suddenly we couldn't see her any more. We all thought that she must have come under the train," he said.

Ayesha tripped over a pipe and landed right next to the rails, Elahi said. He said she was injured but provided no details.

"She was very close to the tracks, luckily she was alive," Elahi said.

'Dor', slated for release on September 22, canvases the journey of two women from different worlds and how these two sets of lives come together through a tryst of destiny.

It is produced by Sahara One Motion Pictures in collaboration with Percept Picture Company and Sic Productions.

Apart from Ayesha, the film also stars Gul Panag , Shreyas Talpade , Girish Karnad and Pratiksha Lonkar.

The film's music is by Salim-Suleiman.
