Alia thanked her fans for their concern in a Twitter post today and assured them of her well-being.

The actress, however, did not divulge any details about the incident. The Times of India had earlier reported that the mishap occurred when Alia tried to shield her face from the firecracker ‘as it hurled itself in her direction’. “She sustained burns on her left elbow and also suffered bruises on the forearm. She was in a lot of pain but still managed to complete her recording,” the article stated.

Pictures of the actress on her way to hospital found their way online and clearly show burns on her arm.
