It's a piece of good news for Malaika Arora fans as the television personality has shared an update on her health. As she is on a ‘road to recovery’, she penned a thank you note extending her gratitude to hospital staff, first-responders, her family, and friends who stood by her in the hard times.

Malaika's car met with an accident on the Mumbai-Pune highway on April 2, following which she was rushed to the hospital. She was returning from Pune after attending a fashion show. It was earlier reported that she had sustained minor injuries and was discharged the next day.

Taking to Instagram, Malaika shared a picture of herself, gazing out of the window, and wrote that she is a fighter and will be back in action soon. “The last few days and the events that unfolded have been quite unbelievable. Thinking about it in retrospect feels like a scene from a film and not something that actually happened. Thankfully, immediately after the accident, I felt like I was enveloped with the care from so many guardian angels - be it my staff, the people who helped me reach the hospital, my family who stood by me throughout this ordeal and the amazing hospital staff. My doctors ensured my safety in the most caring way possible at every step. They made me feel safe and secure instantly and I am so very grateful for that.”

During these hard times, Malaika’s friends and loved ones like Kareena Kapoor , and Arjun Kapoor paid visits to her residence to check on her health. Thanking them, she further wrote,” And finally ofcourse the love that came in from my friends, family, my team and my Insta fam was just so reassuring. Moments like these are not epiphanies but strong reminders that we must always offer gratitude to those - known and unknown - who shower you with love and good wishes at a time you need it the most. A big heartfelt thank you to each and everyone of you for being there making sure I come out of this with renewed vigour. I’m now on my road to recovery and I assure you, I’m a fighter and I’ll be back before you know it!”

Soon the celebrities like Twinkle Khanna , Kareena Kapoor, and Sanjay Kapoor wished her a speedy recovery in the comment section. While Twinkle wrote, “Get well soon”, Sanjay Kapoor commented, “ Braveheart ”. While Kapoor sisters Kareena and Karisma dropped heart emojis.
