Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sprained her hand Monday after tripping and falling on stairs at a palace in India, the Britain-based Daily Mail reports.
The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate reportedly canceled a trip to another fort this week after doctors at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in India advised her to get rest to regain her strength.
Clinton was touring the Jahaj Maha palace on Monday when a video shows her falling and bracing herself with her hand.
She is in India promoting her book, “What Happened,” and can be seen alongside top aide Huma Abedin in the video.

Clinton angered some Democrats and critics with comments she made Sunday during a conference in the country that reminded many of her “basket of deplorables” comments made during the 2016 election.
“If you look at the map of the United States, there’s all that red in the middle where Trump won,” Clinton said at the India Today Conclave 2018 in Mumbai. “I win the coast, I win, you know, Illinois and Minnesota, places like that.”
“I won the places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product,” she continued. “So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again,’ was looking backwards.”
Clinton is scheduled to meet with and speak to carpet-weavers in Salawas village before leaving Thursday for Delhi, according to the Mail.
The former Democratic candidate’s injury comes just a few months after she broke her toe while running down a flight of stairs last year.
Clinton later appeared on an episode of The Graham Norton Show, where she showed off a surgical boot she was wearing following the accident.
“I was running down the stairs in heels with a cup of coffee in hand, I was talking over my shoulder and my heel caught and I fell backwards,” Clinton said in the interview last year. “I tried to get up and it really hurt,” she added. “I’ve broken my toe.”
