Guess What? Eko Patrio
Guess What? Eko Patrio
Comedian Eko Patrio, wasn't laughing last Monday when he was
injured in an accident at the Bumi Wiyata studio in Depok, West
Jakarta.
"The accident happened at 2 p.m. when some bamboo torches on
the set flared up and burned me and (comedian) Akri while we were
shooting a commercial for a mosquito repellent. (Comedian) Parto
and (actress) Peggy Melati Sukma were also there but were
uninjured," Eko said on Tuesday at the Jakarta Design Center in
Central Jakarta.
Eko said he and Akri were taken to Bhakti Yuda Hospital in
Depok and then moved to Pertamina Hospital at 4 p.m. to be
treated for their burns.
"Only my hands were burned but Akri suffered severe burns and
he will probably be in the hospital for one-and-a-half months for
treatment," said the 30-year-old Javanese.
Eko, who will marry 22-year-old actress Viona Rosalina on Oct.
12, said he was sure the incident was just an accident.
"It was an accident. It couldn't have been deliberate because
I don't have any enemies," said Eko, who appears on numerous
television shows, including hosting Kiss on Indosiar. (Dani)
