Mahima Chaudhry opened up about her near-death accident

Recently, in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Mahima Chaudhry opened up about her near-death accident during the shooting of the 1999 film, Dil Kya Kare opposite Ajay Devgn. Mahima suffered severe facial injuries after 67 pieces of glass pierced her skin in the accident. Recalling the horrific accident, Mahima shared that it was extremely painful to scrape 67 tiny glass pieces out with the help of a microscope.

Mahima added that the next day, her face was more swollen and out of shape. Meanwhile, her friends were laughing at her, thinking that she got into a fight and was lying about the accident. Mahima stated that it was a difficult phase as she couldn't go out in the sunlight and had to wait for the stitches to heal. She said:

"There were 67 tiny glass pieces, then they are scraped out under the microscope. The next day, the face is more swollen and out of shape. My friends were laughing at my facial injury, they thought I had a fight with someone and I am lying. At that time, I didn’t know what I was going to do in life, it was difficult. I couldn’t go out in sunlight, you have to wait for the stitches, then they heal so you have to keep it moist."

Mahima added that after her facial surgery, sunlight and UV rays could easily scar her face. However, she had to complete her pending songs. She stated that her costume designer would put diamond dots on the scars to hide them, especially the left side of her face, which was more swollen. She stated that it was after seeing her look, people started selling it. It is worth mentioning that Mahima Chaudhry had to take a break for a year after the accident as she couldn't shoot for long hours, and her face needed healing from the accident scars. She shared:

"Sunlight and UV rays can cause scarring. I completed pending 1-2 songs in between, but couldn’t give full fledged rights to anyone to go anywhere outdoors and work. My costume designer had to put diamond dots on the scars, especially left side which was more swollen. It became a fad after that, people actually started selling it."

For those who don't know, on the sets, while she was shooting in a car, a milk truck came from the wrong side and simply rammed into her car. The scary moment made her think that she was going to die, and no one even helped her go to the hospital. After she reached there, her mother came.
