Freida Pinto and Dev Patel’s Slumdog Millionaire co-star is serious…

Madhur Mittal met with a car accident and was critically injured that happened this month in Dahisar. Madhur was actually driving the car along with his friends and as he was overtaking, he rammed his car into a stationery truck. 

His friends were fine but Madhur unfortunately has been injured critically. The friends took him immediately to the hospital. Madhur was kept in the ICU and wasn’t in his conscious state for 10 days. He also had to undergo multiple operations to fix his broken jaw, teeth, arm and other parts.

Now, he is fine and discharged from the hospital, but the reports of this accident have come out now. In an interview to a leading daily, he said, “God has given me a second life. It was a narrow escape. I want to send out a message to the youth to wear seat belts, come what may. It could have saved me from what I went through. 70% of my face has been damaged but the swelling will eventually reduce. I am not allowed to talk much either. Hopefully, I shall be fine by November, as I need to attend a workshop and a film festival in Mexico.”

Dev Patel and Anil Kapoor also expressed concern over his state of health.
