In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Niki Walia remembered the heartwrenching incident that happened when she was shooting for her show, Gharwali Uparwali in 2000.

The actress revealed how she got hospitalized and added, "I was in the hospital for a month and a half. I was undergoing treatment and I was delirious.

Take a look at Niki Walia's post here-
Niki revealed, "Shah Rukh held my hand and said ‘Niki, it’s Shah. I am so sorry. It’s 12 in the night but because there was paparazzi outside, I was waiting for them to leave. I can only come in the night.’ He then started caressing my hair and asked me how I was, if I wanted anything."
The actress revealed that she was in disbelief that King Khan had visited her at the hospital. She said, "I asked him ‘What are you doing here?’ He said 'Answer one question, were you hit by a red Maruti van?' I said yes but why are you asking that?"
Shah Rukh recalled spotting the same van at Film City, where the production crew of Niki's show was teaching the junior artist how to drive the vehicle. The actor informed Niki that he knew about this as he saw the junior artist learning the car when he was reaching the Devdas set and had to wait for 10 minutes as the road was blocked.
Niki revealed, "Shah Rukh remembered that. He gave me the news that the person who has hit you, he didn’t even know how to drive." She mentioned how she didn't know how the production team messed up until SRK told her. The actress expressed how her respect for Shah Rukh Khan grew because of it and said, "He told me to sue the production house."
Workwise, Niki Walia worked in numerous Television shows like Astitva, Sea Hawks, Gharwali Uparwali, and more.
