Actress Mahima Chaudhry has opened up on the horrific accident she suffered years ago that left her shattered mentally and fighting for her life. Mahima was badly injured in a car accident in 1999, on the last day of Dil Kya Kare shoot in Bangalore. In an interview with an entertainment portal, she described the career-threatening accident and recalled how Ajay Devgn helped her out during those times. Mahima also got emotional as she recalled how she was called ‘scarface’ by certain people after the accident.

Mahima told, “It was the last day of the shoot in Bangalore. An early morning shoot. I sat in the car. A milk truck was coming from the wrong side and it rammed into my car. The glass pieces came like bullets into my face. I was preparing for a life without cinema. I was learning how to cope up with it. Anything that happened post that was just God’s gift,” she added.

Mahima teared up while recalling how she was branded ‘scarface’ after the accident. Talking about how the press reacted, she said, “When I had my accident, they came on the sets when nobody was allowed. They took a shot from far because I still had scars. They put a picture of me on a magazine’s cover and wrote ‘Mahima had an accident. She’s got scars all over the face. We can actually call her scarface.’ It still hurts me.”

Mahima had earlier admitted that the accident had damaged her career!
