Last month, Malaika Arora was injured in a road accident when her car was rammed by three vehicles while she was returning from Pune to Mumbai. In a conversation with BT, Malaika spoke about how she feels physically healthy now but is still mentally fragile.
“There was fear, anxiety and insecurity. It took coaxing to get me out, anywhere. In fact, to attend Ranbir and Alia’s wedding reception, it took a bit of coaxing. More than sitting in the car, seeing so many people around the car made me feel uncomfortable.” Now, as soon as I get in the car, I wear my seat belt, even if I’m in the back seat,” she shared.
Malaika also shared how traumatized the incident was for her. Speaking about her recovery period, she added: “The only time I shivered was when I was alone, reliving those moments. It was scary. For 15 days after the injury, I didn’t feel anything.” feel safe sitting in a car room.”
Many car accident survivors face psychological consequences that can last for weeks or months after the accident.
