In conversation with musicians Salim-Sulaiman on their podcast, Pawandeep Rajan recalled the horrifying phase of his life. He said, “Initially, no one was helping us, then the police came. The car had caught fire, and I was inside it at the time. One of them pulled me out. I don’t know how long I was inside, but when I woke up, I was out of the car. Then I was taken to the hospital. Both my legs and a hand were broken. I called up home and asked my family to come. I just thought about getting it treated as soon as possible. It has all gotten better now.”Also Read : Pawandeep Rajan Discharged From Hospital After Multiple Surgeries Post Accident, Shares First Smiling Pic While sharing an update on his recovery, Pawandeep Rajan confessed that it is steady progress. He said, “For the first month, I couldn’t even move from side to side, but now I’m able to walk a little, which makes me happy. The experience made me realise the true value of being able to walk. When such incidents occur, you must accept them, move forward, and remain positive. I’ve begun walking gradually, and I hope my mobility improves further in the coming month. After the accident, I was bedridden, and even when I flew to Mumbai with my injured leg, I had to stay immobile for another month. Slowly, I’ve started walking and even playing the guitar again. My hand has regained some strength, but it still needs more healing.” For the unversed, the accident happened on May 5, 2025, when Pawandeep was travelling to Delhi to catch a flight to Ahmedabad for a live show. His car collided with a stationary truck. He was initially taken to a nearby government hospital. Later, he was shifted to Delhi NCR’s hospital for multiple surgeries.
