Freida Pinto Accidentally Stabbed 'Trishna' Co-Star Riz Ahmed!

Freida Pinto is opening up about the scary time she accidentally stabbed Rogue One: A Star Wars Story star Riz Ahmed!

While making an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote her new mini-series Guerrilla on Tuesday (April 4) in New York City, the 32-year-old actress told Seth about the incident, which happened when she worked with Riz on their 2011 film Trishna.

“In the scene, I get frenzied and I am stabbing him with a knife. So I’m doing it with a prop knife, where the blade retracts, and I’m kind of stabbing the bed,” Freida revealed. “Somewhere in the frenzy they swapped the knife and put a real knife in my hand and they told me stab the bed. But you’re talking to a frenzied actor right now… I got his skin on the side of his rib cage.”

“They came to the conclusion that it would be the frenzied actor (who was responsible),” Freida added. “Not the person who put the knife in my hand!”
