She told it happened when she was in Bengaluru for the shooting of a film Dil Kya Kare also starring Ajay Devgn and Kajol. There she met with a massive accident where a truck hit her car and the glass of her car went into her face mostly.
She continued. “I thought I was dying, and at that point, no one even helped me get to the hospital. It is only after reaching the hospital, much later, when my mother came, Ajay came and they went to discuss. I got up and saw my face in the mirror and saw the horror. When they did the surgery on me, they took out 67 glass pieces.”

She didn’t tell them the reason why she is backing from the film as people at that time were not quite supportive. If she would have told them that she face has damaged and will take a while to heal so they would have said, “oh, iska toh chehra kharab ho gaya, let’s sign someone else.”
