Malvi Malhotra, the Udaan serial actress, was rushed to Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital on Monday after her being brutally stabbed. Recently, she opened up about her encounters with Yogesh and the stabbing during an interview with ETimes.
When asked about the stabbing, Malvi spoke about the incident with the stabber, Yogesh Mahipal Singh, who is now under hospitalization. On her way home from a coffee shop at Andheri, Yogesh pulled over and forced the to get in the car. After Malvi refused, he stabbed her on her stomach, right wrist, and left finger. She said that he was aiming for her face but failed to reach as she protected it. Malvi was quoted as saying, “I told him to stop the tamasha. Instead, he got down from the car and stabbed me in my stomach. Next, he wanted to injure my face. I kept my hand on the face to avoid any injuries but his knife went deep into my right hand and wounded it badly. The fingers region in my left hand also got inflicted with bruises. I went down on the ground as I had started to bleed profusely.”
Malvi stated that she came across Yogesh a few times early this year for work. She started avoiding him after a meeting in Ooty during a shoot for a Tamil film. “At this third meeting, he told me that he loves me and wants to marry me. I politely told him that is not possible but we can still remain friends. After that, I refrained from meeting him,” she said. He still continued showing up at her door unannounced, sending in bouquets and cards. But, she was adamant with her refusal.
When asked about how she felt right now, Malvi informed that it could take her up to 3 months to heal. “I think it will take 2-3 months before I am alright. Right now, the fingers of my left hand are not moving. The knife incision in my stomach was about 1.5 inches,” she concluded.
