Actress and dancer Nora Fatehi has broken her silence following a serious car accident in Mumbai on Saturday, December 20. The Street Dancer 3D star sustained minor injuries but bravely continued with her professional commitments, performing at the Sunburn Festival in Mumbai just hours after the incident.
In a recent Instagram post, Nora updated her followers on her condition, revealing that while her injuries are not severe, she is still experiencing pain. She described the terrifying ordeal, saying, “Hey guys, I’m just coming here to tell you guys that I am okay. Yes, I was in a really serious car accident today in the afternoon. A drunk person who was driving under the influence smashed my car, and unfortunately, the impact was quite severe, and it flung me across the car. I bashed my head on the window.”
Fatehi, who is known for her roles in films like Bhuj: The Pride of India, used the platform to raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving. She stressed the potential consequences of such reckless behavior, adding, “It could have ended terribly.”
The actress continued, “I can’t believe that this is even a scenario that has to happen at 3 p.m. in the afternoon. I could never imagine someone would be driving under the influence and putting people in harm’s way. I’m not going to lie. That was a very scary, terrifying, traumatic moment. I’m still slightly traumatised.”
Mumbai Police confirmed that Fatehi was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where medical staff assessed her condition and treated her for minor injuries. Authorities have booked the driver responsible for the accident on charges related to rash and drunk driving. He has been taken into custody as the investigation continues.
Fatehi’s brave performance at the festival, despite the ordeal, has garnered praise from fans and colleagues alike, as she continues to recover from the traumatic experience.
