Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard stumbled and fell as her shoe got stuck in soft grass while she was visiting the Gandhi Memorial in Delhi on Wednesday (October 17).

Gillard was helped to her feet by Indian officials and dusted herself off.

"Oh yeah, no, I'm fine. For men who get to wear flat shoes all day, everyday, if you wear a heel it can get imbedded in soft grass, and then when you pull your foot out, the shoe doesn't come, and there the rest of it is as you saw," she replied, after she was asked by the media if she was alright.

Gillard is on the final day of a three-day state visit to India.
