Usually, actors get injured while filming an action sequence but I got injured while shooting a love song."

Suddenly, I collided with the other boat due to a tide. I got severely injured in my face and drowned in the sea. I was unconscious. The heroine and a crew assistant saved me that day," added Vijay Antony.

The actor further continued, "I was in a serious condition back then but I recovered. Now, I am feeling good. I am mentally double better than my well being before the accident. I feel very strong mentally." His speech video is now doing rounds on the internet. Fans and netizens are amazed that his words are so confident after such a traumatic incident.
