Katrina Kaif suffers serious spine injury, pulls out of awards show

Mumbai, Mar 10: Katrina Kaif was supposed to perform at an upcoming awards show, but that doesn't seem to be working out anymore. The Dhoom 3 star has hurt her spine badly and has pulled out of the show.

Kat was in the middle of rehearsals for the Zee Cine Awards when she felt a shooting pain in her neck. While initially the actor tried to brush it off as nothing major, the pain only got worse, reports Spotboye.com. Katrina had to cancel the rehearsals and see a doctor, who told her that she had injured her spine.

The website received a confirmation regarding the same from Katrina. "Yup it was an accident. Tried to work through the pain but wasn't possible. Very sad," she said.

Katrina's injury dates back to a week ago, when she was shooting for Anurag Basu's upcoming film Jagga Jasoos. Katrina was hurt when a heavy object landed behind her. While the injury didn't seem anything worrisome back then, seems like it has taken a turn for the worse, leaving Kat out of action for a while.

The Phantom star was supposed to perform at the awards show on March 11. After she informed the organisers that she won't be able to perform, Deepika Padukone was being considered to step in.

However, a report in DNA now says that Kareena Kapoor Khan will be performing at the show instead of Katrina.

Kareena told the daily, "This is the best phase of my life and it feels great to be back on the stage. I am sure the viewers will enjoy the act as much as I did rehearsing and performing it."

Kareena welcomed her first child, Taimur Ali Khan Pataudi, with Saif Ali Khan in December last year. The actor was back to work in exactly 46 days after Taimur's birth when she walked the ramp at a fashion show.

While all Bollywood lovers are excited to see Bebo perform on the stage, here's hoping Katrina Kaif is back on her feet in no time!
