Mumbai: Starlet Mandira Bedi is in a bad shape and she credits that to a rather irresponsible TV channel- Colors. Mandira Bedi has sued the channel for ignoring her and causing her emotional and physical hurt.Mandira is fumingly angry for it was a badly managed stunt during the ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ press conference sometime back that resulted in her broken ankle and led her to undergo a surgery. And now, a metal plate with seven screws has been put up to hold her bone in place. She was made to jump off a 15-foot height at the conference. “Barefoot, because we weren’t informed before hand that we were doing a stunt and didn’t have training shoes. I left alone in my car as there wasn’t an ambulance there. My X-ray confirmed a fracture. I informed the Colors team of it and my inability to return. Then I went to hospital to put my foot in a cast. The next day, a newspaper reported that ‘Mandira twisted her ankle’. Which is the only official statement from Colors,” adds Mandira. The actress is upset, as she thinks that the channel that hosted the show has completely ignored her woes, hence, she has sent a legal notice for the same and has demanded a response within seven days. “The channel had asked for time. Six weeks later, do they still need more time,” questions an annoyed Mandira. What’s even more irritating is the fact that a Colors employee tries clearing her hospital bills. “It’s chicken-feed in comparison to all the pain and trauma I have gone through,” says Mandira. “Accept, on a public forum, that a mistake happened, that there was medical negligence and violation of safety norms. This acknowledgement makes for a larger issue. This callous and inhuman behaviour has to be made an example of. What if Akshay had hurt himself doing a stunt on the show because of lack of safety or medical negligence? Would the channel wash their hands off him?” questions Mandira.
