The injuries for the Bachchans just isn't ending! After hurting himself during the shoot of Bol Bachchan a few days ago, Abhishek Bachchan is hurt again.

While the crew was playing cricket on the sets, they hit the ball in his direction and damaged his finger. 'He had wrapped for the day and was on way to Hotel .. crew playing cricket .. hit ball in his direction damaged his finger ..!!' Amitabh Bachchan tweeted.

Abhishek has covered his finger very stylishly. 'My latest fashion accessory! What do you guys think? Potential to start my own accessory line?' he wrote with the picture.

But the brighter side is that shot for 'Department' and it was a song and dance sequence ..went off quite smoothly without incident !' he updated.
