Recently a horrific incident took place when TV actress Malvi Malhotra was stabbed by a man named Yogeshkumar Mahipal Singh, who was one of her friends. The actress was admitted to the hospital following which she underwent plastic surgery. The accused was later arrested by Versova police and was taken to custody. Yogesh was produced before Andheri metropolitan magistrate court on Thursday and was sent to police custody till November 2. Now Malvi has been discharged from the hospital and is back home.
As Malvi continues to be on the road to recovery, she now vows to learn self-defence after recovering. Speaking to Bombay Times, she said, “Fear toh hai. Aagey bohot precautions lekar chalna hai. Par main apni zindagi darr ke nahi jee sakti. I have to be brave. My dad has told me to learn self-defence, so that I am better prepared to face any untoward incident and take care of myself. I want to be physically strong so that I am able to fight if anything unfortunate happens. I pity the person who did this to me. It shows his criminal mind.” “I am feeling better now. I returned home last night. The first thing we did was to pray to God that my organs were safe even after such a severe attack. My parents are with me. Understandably, they are worried and scared for my safety kyunki Bombay mein yeh sab cheezein nahi hoti hain. They are very scared to leave me alone and want to ensure that I am safe. They have told me that they want someone to be with me all the time,” she added.
She further added, “It will take some time for the wounds to heal. It will take me about two months to recover. My left hand was critical, as my little finger was almost dislodged due to the knife attack. Ussi ke liye doctor ne mujhe do mahine Mumbai mein rehne bola hai. The medical team performed two surgeries on the finger. Judd hi nahi rahi thi. Thodi si bach gayi thi because of which it was there. Had that not been the case, I would have lost my little finger. The doctors somehow managed to put it together after two surgeries.”
Malvi also shares that her father has been her biggest support throughout this ordeal. She added, “My father has been keeping my spirits high and encouraging me to be positive. He told me to accept what has happened. He said, ‘The moment you accept it, it will be easier for you to move on’. Now, I need to figure out how to be productive during the recovery period.” (ALSO READ: Malvi Malhotra Says 'He Wanted To Injure My Face' As The Actress Undergoes Plastic surgery Post Attack)
