Many Bollywood fans were left mortified earlier this year when it was revealed that Shabana Azmi suffered through a gruesome accident which left her with severely injured.
According to an interview with the Mumbai Mirror, Shabana revealed, “I have recovered 90 per cent, but there is still some pain in my arms and palms because of the whiplash on my neck. Doctors tell me it will take another couple of months to heal. It’s a miracle I survived without breaking any bones. I’ve broken my shoulder, wrist and foot in the past.”
Javaed Akhtar was also traveling right behind Shabana in his own car and reportedly witnessed the vehicle collision first hand.
Shabana explained, “Javed says when he saw me covered in blood, he had his heart in his mouth till I reached the ICU. Mercifully, I remember nothing, but I’m grateful for all the prayers and blessings I received from all over the world, which had a big hand in my recovery.”
