A life-changing experience
Pant said on Shikhar Dhawan's show 'Dhawan Karenge', “Confidence is very important while recovering from an injury because people around you say different things and as an individual you have to think what is good for you. This accident was a life-changing experience for me. After this, when I woke up, I was not sure whether I would survive or not, but God was so kind that he saved me.”
Haven't brushed my teeth in 2 months
