Never in her wildest dreams would actress Parul Yadav have imagined that this is how her day would turn out. She was quietly preparing for the Kannada remake of 'Queen' when on Monday evening she was attacked by a pack of stray dogs near her Mumbai residence.
The actress, who has acted in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Killing Veerappan', was rushed to the Kokilaben Hospital and is being treated there for multiple injuries and dog bites.

According to media reports, Parul was attacked by six dogs while she was walking her own puppy near her apartment in Mumbai's western suburb of Jogeshwari.
The actress is believed to have sustained multiple injuries on her face, legs, neck and scalp while trying to save her pet puppy from the stray dogs. The reports stated that Parul's sister Sheetal had said that one of the star's neighbours had rushed to her help but by then Parul had already sustained severe injuries.
According to reports, Parul has also sustained a deep 3-inch cut on her head and is likely to be operated on on Wednesday.
