It wasn’t an injury, It was a trauma, and i am proud to have started it again from nothing,it takes a lot of strength” ,says actress shweta mehta on her 4th comeback birthday
In the world of Indian entertainment, where fame can be fleeting, Shweta Mehta’s story stands as an inspiring testament to resilience and determination. Today, as she is marking her 4th comeback birthday, we delve into the journey of a woman who refused to be defeated by adversity. Four years ago, Shweta Mehta, the spirited winner of Roadies, faced a life-altering moment at Woop Trampoline Park in Surat. An unfortunate accident left her with seven fractures in her neck and damage to the spinal cord bones. It was a near-fatal incident that would alter the course of her life forever. The path to recovery was arduous, filled with physical pain and emotional challenges. Yet, Shweta’s indomitable spirit shone through.
On this birthday Shweta became emotional while talking about her life-altering accident, Shweta said “On this special birthday, I want to share that I went through a really tough time. There was a risky accident that left me in a bad state mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially. I lost everything I had and even my projects and work suffered. I had to stay in bed for two years, and then another year and a half. But today, I’m here to celebrate because I’ve come a long way from that difficult period. Recovery and Rehab were painful and difficult but it gave me pain forever. I sleep in pain, and get up in pain. The smile you all see everyday is just a cover up.”
Sharing her comeback in Bombay, Shweta said “I remember returning to Bombay with a negative bank balance. I’ve lived a lifetime in my youth, gaining invaluable experiences with that horrible accident. From the depths, I’ve risen as a person of remarkable strength. But I don’t seek pity with what happened because I wear my journey proudly, for it takes an extraordinary spirit to rise gracefully from the ashes. The only thing that hurts me is that 99% of people will desert you in your darkest hours.”
While talking about her birthday ritual, Shweta said “On my birthday, I dance with loved ones, and in the grace of tradition, I find solace at the Gurudwara’s door.”
