She further revealed that panic broke out when people suddenly began running in different directions. Kajal also tried to move away from the scene but accidentally struck a table and fell to the ground.

Recalling the terrifying moment, Kajal said she briefly stopped to understand why everyone was running and turned around to look back. To her shock, she saw a massive 100-foot crane collapsing in her direction. The actress described how everything unfolded within seconds, leaving her completely stunned and unable to process what was happening.

Kajal further reflected on how the incident changed her outlook on life. She described the experience as a reminder of how unpredictable life can be and expressed gratitude for surviving the accident. Her recollection also brings attention to the three crew members who lost their lives, highlighting the risks faced by film technicians and workers behind the scenes during movie productions.
