Oops! Kunal Jaisingh breaks Leenesh Mattoo's nose
Actor Kunal Jaisingh, who is seen as Omkara in TV show Ishqbaaaz, accidentally broke his co-star Leenesh Mattoo's nose while shooting for a fight sequence.
It so happened that Leenesh, who plays Rudra, got embroiled in a fight with goons at a party in which he was rescued by his older brothers Shivaay (Nakuul Mehta) and Omkara. While the trio got together to fight the goons, in a mismatched co-ordination, Kunal ended up punching Leenesh on his nose.
My nose got immediately swollen up and we had to rush for a medical aid to a nearby hospital. It wasnt Kunals fault and he was guilty about it and was constantly apologising as well.
"Even when we were at the dispensary for my treatment, he was there by my side. I am glad that Ive found a lifelong friend-cum-brother in Kunal, Leenesh said in a statement.
Ishqbaaaz, aired on Star Plus, narrates the story of three brothers who are divided by family, but united by their bond with each other.

Jeetendra recently paid a surprise visit on the sets of the Star Plus TV show, which features Divyanka Tripathi and Karan Patel as lead.
I only watch 'Ye Hai Mohabbatein' on television. Its my favourite show and I absolutely love the bubbly character of Ruhi, Jeetendra said in a statement.
The father of Ekta Kapoor and Tusshar Kapoor added: I think Aditi Bhatia (elder Ruhi on the show post the leap) is doing a wonderful job of playing a tomboyish rock star type character at such a young age.
Aditi, 16, was overwhelmed after getting praised by a senior actor like Jeetendra.
Im blessed to be liked and loved by an iconic personality like Jeetendra-ji. Never had I thought that he will like my performance so much that he would personally come down to meet me and appreciate me, Aditi said.
Firstly I was very nervous to meet or even speak to him, but when I did, I felt on top of the world. He told me that my acting transition from Ruhaan to Ruhi is commendable and called me a true rockstar in real life too," she added.
