Kartik Aaryan was recently seen in Kabir Khan's directorial, Chandu Champion. It is safe to say that Kartik went into the skin of his character while playing the role of India's first Paralympics gold medalist, Murlikant Petkar. His body transformation journey of losing 18 kg for the role is one such proof of it.

Kartik recently revealed an incident from the sets of Chandu Champion that could hurt his eye.

Talking about the scene, Kartik said, "All of us are running and there is an explosion. Mere right side bhaagte hue just pehle hona tha...(The explosion was supposed to blast on my right side before I reached a certain point after the run)."

"Woh kuch timing off ho gaya rehearsal mein toh main jab pahucha hoon us jagah pe, woh usi time blast ho gaya. Mere right eye pe blast kar gaya tha (However, there was a miscalculation in timing and it blasted exactly when I reached at the position. It hit near my right eye)," he added.
