Mahima Chaudhry Explains How She Hurt Her Finger

Mahima went on to explain how the injury actually happened. She revealed that the building where she lives often experiences strong winds. On the day of the accident, she was trying to hold a door so that it would not slam shut with a loud bang. Unfortunately, at that moment, she admitted that she got a little distracted and could not react quickly enough. Due to the air pressure, the heavy door slammed shut suddenly on her hand.

The actress shared that the impact was so harsh that her finger got fractured, the nail came out, and her finger was chopped. She told everyone that she had come to the event straight after visiting a hospital. After Mahima explained her entire ordeal, the paparazzi asked her to take care of herself. She smiled, acknowledged their concern and then joined her daughter and nephew as they headed inside the event without further ado.
