Malaika Arora Khan shares first social media post since accident, thanks well-wishers

Malaika Arora Khan has thanked her well-wishers following her recovery from a road accident earlier this month.

Malaika met with an accident on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on April 2. She was returning from a fashion event in Pune when three vehicles, including hers, rammed into each other. The actor was rushed to the Apollo Hospital in Mumbai. She was discharged a day later.

Malaika shared a picture of herself in her first social media post since the accident.

She wrote, "The last few days and the events that unfolded have been quite unbelievable. Thinking about it in retrospect feels like a scene from a film and not something that actually happened."

She thanked everyone from the team of doctors to her family, friends and 'Insta fam'.

"Thankfully, immediately after the accident, I felt like I was enveloped with the care from so many guardian angels - be it my staff, the people who helped me reach the hospital, my family who stood by me throughout this ordeal and the amazing hospital staff. My doctors ensured my safety in the most caring way possible at every step. They made me feel safe and secure instantly and I am so very grateful for that. And finally ofcourse the love that came in from my friends, family, my team and my Insta fam was just so reassuring. Moments like these are not epiphanies but strong reminders that we must always offer gratitude to those - known and unknown - who shower you with love and good wishes at a time you need it the most.

A big heartfelt thank you to each and everyone of you for being there making sure I come out of this with renewed vigour. I’m now on my road to recovery and I assure you, I’m a fighter and I’ll be back before you know it!."
