Hrithik
Roshan's
accident
on
the
sets
of
Kites
made
news
but
the
bigger
news
is
how
the
actor
skipped
going
to
the
'celebrity'
hospital
in
Bandra
to
avoid
registering
a
police
complaint.
The
actor
has
cuts
on
his
wrist
normally
associated
with
attempted
suicide
cases.
The
Roshans
wanted
to
avoid
unnecessary
paperwork.
So
papa
Roshan
called
Tina
Ambani,
and
requested
her
to
admit
his
son
to
the
family-owned
and
recently-opened
Kokilaben
Dhirubhai
Ambani
Hospital
at
Four
Bungalows,
Andheri.
Ambani
made
the
necessary
arrangements
for
Hrithik's
medical
care
at
the
hospital.
A
source
close
to
Hrithik's
family
says,
"Duggu
(Hrithik's
pet
name)
was
the
first
patient
at
the
Kokilaben
Dhirubhai
Ambani
Hospital.
He
hurt
himself
on
the
sets
of
Anurag
Basu's
Kites
at
Filmistan
Studios
on
Wednesday
night.
He
was
shooting
for
an
action
scene
in
which
he
had
to
smash
a
windowpane
with
a
rod
and
enter
the
room.
The
shot
didn't
work
well
two
times;
the
third
time
Hrithik
hit
the
glass
so
hard
that
glass
shards
flew
everywhere.
One
sliced
through
his
wrist
and
blood
gushed
everywhere.
The
cut
was
so
deep
that
Hrithik
could
see
his
bone."
Though
Papa
Roshan
wasn't
present
on
the
sets
executive
producer
and
Hrithik's
sister
Sunaina
was.
She
took
charge.
"Initially,
Sunaina
didn't
realise
how
serious
Hrithik's
wound
was
but
when
he
cried
out
to
her
asking
for
help
and
to
stop
the
blood
gushing
out,
she
realised
he
needed
to
be
taken
to
a
hospital
for
stitches."
The
source
adds
that
Sunaina
decided
to
take
him
to
Lilavati
Hospital
in
Bandra
but
they
were
advised
that
it
might
become
a
police
case.
She
spoke
to
her
dad,
who
in
turn
called
Tina
Ambani
in
Delhi
who
made
the
necessary
arrangements
for
Hrithik's
admission." Roshan
Sr
confirms,
"The
deep
cut
required
12
stitches.
He
won't
be
shooting
for
the
next
three
days
till
the
doctor
sees
his
wound."
Roshan
Sr
also
adds,
"We
took
Hrithik
to
the
Ambani
Hospital
as
it
was
close
to
Filmistan
Studios
in
Goregaon.
I
wanted
him
to
reach
the
hospital
as
soon
as
possible.
I
spoke
to
Tina.
She
spoke
to
the
doctors
and
made
all
the
required
arrangements.
Fortunately
they
had
opened
the
hospital
just
a
day
before
and
Hrithik
was
their
first
patient.
It's
a
fantastic
hospital
like
a
7-star
hotel
very
well
thought
out
with
700
beds.
The
doctors
are
very
efficient."
With
regard
to
the
police
case
he
says,
"The
police
came
for
a
routine
enquiry
and
I
showed
them
Hrithik's
report
it
was
an
accident
on
the
sets.
They
were
fine
with
that.
