Shweta
Mehta,
who
emerged
as
the
winner
of
Roadies
season
15
in
2017,
recently
opened
up
about
a
near-fatal
accident
that
left
her
bed-ridden
and
out-of-work
for
two
years.
Mehta
met
with
a
serious
accident
in
September
2019
at
a
trampoline
park
in
Surat
and
suffered
seven
fractures
in
her
neck,
and
damaged
three
bones
in
her
spinal
cord.
She
shared
about
the
financial
hardships
she
had
to
face
after
her
life-threatening
accident
and
how
she
bounced
back
in
an
interview
with
TOI.
Shweta
said,
"I
was
at
the
peak
of
my
career.
A
charming,
beautiful,
young
girl
doing
various
brand
endorsements,
music
videos
and
I
was
working
on
another
reality
show.
I
wanted
to
do
a
Punjabi
movie,
there
were
so
many
things
in
the
pipeline.
And
suddenly
I
lost
out
on
everything.
I
lost
everything,
all
my
future
projects
within
a
month."
She
also
revealed
that
because
of
her
accident,
casting
directors
are
hesitant
to
hire
her
for
adventure-based
reality
shows.
"Khatron
Ke
Khiladi
was
something
that
I
really
wanted
to
do
and
I
got
a
call
also
from
someone
and
even
he
asked
me
the
same
thing.
He
asked,
'Shweta
we
want
a
medical
certificate
because
we
think
you
won’t
be
able
to
perform'," she
added.
The
reality
show
winner
was
surprised
that
nobody
came
forward
to
help
her.
She
even
shared
that
some
people
returned
to
endorse
the
trampoline
park's
whilst
she
was
in
the
process
of
filing
a
lawsuit
against
them.
She
further
continued,
"But
honestly
I
fought
a
lot,
I
am
from
a
middle-class
family,
I
did
not
have
any
compensation,
whatever
savings
I
had
I
used
it
all
on
my
treatment.
There
were
projects,
endorsement
lineup,
there
was
no
money
flowing
in
my
account.
I
had
used
all
my
money.
Secondly,
I
was
fighting
with
all
the
influential
people.
They
also
warned
me
that
they
would
hurt
my
parents.
I
just
had
to
let
that
go...
I
was
supposed
to
have
20
lakh
in
my
account
by
this
year
as
per
my
plan
but
I
had
zero
balance
in
my
account."
