Pooja Banerjee: 'Have Lost My Right Hand Movement Partially After The Nach Baliye 9 Accident'- EXCLUSIVE
Pooja Banerjee had a deadly fall, 10 months back, on the sets of Nach Baliye 9. The actress still has not recovered fully from the injuries. We spoke to her over a LIVE chat on Instagram and the actress narrates how she has had a tough time shooting for shows
TV actress Pooja Banerjee, who is being loved for her character of Nivedita in Ekta Kapoor's Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2, had participated in a couple dance reality show- Nach Baliye 9 with her husband Sandeep Sejwal, last year.
Unfortunately, Pooja's journey on Nach Baliye 9 was short as she met with a major accident. She had a nasty fall from 10 feet and landed straight on her hand, fracturing both the wrists and spraining a ligament in left leg. And now after 10 months also she hasn't recovered completely.
Recently, Pooja took out sometime to join us for a LIVE chat on Instagram and discussed how she is utilising her time to recover from her injuries, which she got during the Nach Baliye 9 accident. Pooja told us that she has lost partial movement in her hand, and also added, that this near to death experience has not demotivated her to participate in any other reality show.
Talking to us she said, "There is a saying- never say never. Reality shows give me a lot of happiness. Of course, what happened in Nach Baliye 9 was sad, like I have lost almost 50% of my right hand's movement. It doesn't bend and that is a big loss for me. And no matter how much I try I don't think that movement I will be able to get back. It all depends on my will power and physiotherapy. During the lockdown, I am trying to heal my injury. But I still want to do more of reality shows because I love them."
Pooja also explained how post her accident, she had to struggle while shooting for the third season of Kehne Ko Humsafar Hain, "The kind of love I got on the set is commendable. Most importantly they never treated me like a patient by the way. After knowing that my hand and legs are miserably injured they didn't made me feel anything. They used to change choreography of the scenes for me. Like I remember in one of my scenes, I had to hold a baby in one hand and a laptop in my other hand. Now just imagine I can't do both as mera haath kaafi weak hai and un dino mein to mere haath mein bilkul bhi grip nahi tha. I knew vo mujhe feel nahi karana chahte that I am going through a difficult phase but dusri taraf mujhe aisa lagta hai ki scene kharab na ho. Mere dimaag mein hamesha yahi chalta tha ki acting to karni but aise ki logo ko samajh na aaye ki I have problem with my hands. And it was difficult.
Then there was another scene where I had to give a glass and a bottle to Ronit Roy in the scene in anger. And I couldn't understand how do I do it as both of my hands were injured and I was unable to figure out kaunse haath se doon? kaunse haath se loo? But he really helped me asked kaunse haath se kar paaoge we will change the camera angel and setup that way. So they helped me pretty much."
Pooja further added, "I had a scene with Mona Mam where I had to sit on my knees and that time main apne pairo pe bhi nahi baith sakti thi. I had a ligament issue in my left leg. So, in the scene you people will not get to know but people are holding me from behind. And if at all they made me sit I couldn't get up on my own. So those days were that bad."
