Get Well Soon Freddy!

Model Freddy Daruwala meets with grave bike accident, hospitalised

Sunday evening (Feb 12, 2012) was a nightmare for leading male model Freddy Daruwala, who met with a major bike accident on the Mumbai-Nashik highway. He was immediately hospitalised at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai and was diagnosed with a crack in the spinal cord, broken collar bone and damaged index finger. Out of danger now, every time the doctor induces anaesthesia to him, he keeps saying, "I should've been more responsible."  Freddy, former Mr India, was to take off to Delhi for the ongoing Wills India Fashion Week there. All his plans to walk the ramp for established designers now stay altered. He was also selected to walk the ramp at the upcoming Lakme Fashion Week for designers Rohit Bal and Manish Malhotra amongst others in March, now that too will be put on hold. Being a self-confessed biking enthusiast, he often took off to weekend getaways from Mumbai with his biking gang. His friends from the modelling fraternity are by his side in the hospital, as his immediate family lives in Ahmedabad and new wife lives in the USA. His close friend, model-actor Viraf Patel visits him often at the ward and says,"Freddy's state is looking up. But he has been advised complete bed rest. Considering he is a restless soul, this is the most difficult phases of his life." His model friends recently met up with him at the hospital and say that his condition is improving by the day.
