Erica Fernandes recently revealed that she suffered a minor injury while shooting an action sequence for her latest television project, 108 Base Hospital – Uri. The actress was filming a scene involving an Uzi prop gun when the heavy dummy weapon accidentally fell onto her nose. According to Erica, the prop was an approximately 3–4 kg iron dummy gun.
The actress shared a video from the shoot, giving fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the action sequence. The footage also showed the cut on her nose after the unexpected accident. Despite the incident, Erica maintained a light-hearted attitude while discussing what happened on set.
Erica Fernandes’ Nose Was Hit By A Heavy Prop Gun
While shooting the action sequence, the iron dummy Uzi reportedly took an unexpected fall and landed directly on Erica Fernandes’ nose. The actress described the moment as one where the entire set froze for a few seconds.
Fortunately, according to Erica’s account, the injury was minor and resulted in a clean cut rather than a more serious injury. She later shared the incident with her followers, turning an unexpected behind-the-scenes mishap into a memorable story from the making of the show.
The accident also highlights the physical unpredictability involved in filming action sequences, where actors often work with props, movement and carefully choreographed scenes.
Erica Fernandes Decided To Keep The Real Hit In The Scene
What made the incident even more unusual was what happened afterward. Erica revealed that instead of abandoning the take because of the accident, the team decided to continue with the sequence.
The real impact was ultimately retained in the final cut, adding an unexpected layer of authenticity to the action scene. Erica described the situation humorously, suggesting that the prop had effectively decided to perform its own stunt during the shoot.
For viewers, the moment could therefore become one of those behind-the-scenes incidents that takes on a different meaning once they know the story behind the shot.
Erica Fernandes Plays Dr. Major Naina
Erica Fernandes is currently playing Dr. Major Naina in 108 Base Hospital – Uri, a finite series centred around an Army hospital and the medical professionals working there.

Her preparation reflects the effort required for a role that combines the responsibilities of a doctor with those of an Army officer.
108 Base Hospital – Uri Brings Army And Medical Stories Together

The show premiered on August 15, 2026, and airs on COLORS, with episodes also available on JioHotstar.

Erica and Gashmeer lead the story while the supporting cast adds different layers to the hospital environment.
Erica Fernandes Returns To Television
108 Base Hospital – Uri also marks an important phase in Erica Fernandes’ television career. Before returning with the finite series, the actress was known for popular shows including Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi and Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2.
Recently, Erica also marked eight years of Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 with a nostalgic social media post featuring former co-stars. She reflected on the years of friendship, memories and experiences shared with the cast.
Her return with a military-medical drama represents a different kind of television role compared with her earlier romantic and family-oriented characters.
The On-Set Accident Became Part Of Erica’s Shooting Memories
The Uzi prop-gun incident may have been unexpected, but Erica Fernandes’ decision to continue with the sequence shows how the accident became part of the filming experience.
