Karthika Drowns but Saved
Karthika Drowns but Saved
Karthika is in such a horror that she would vacillate even to go to the Marina seaside for some spanking fresh sea breeze. Karthika and Vijayan are starring in ‘Alaiyodu Vilayaadu.’ The shooting has been going on for a few days in Kullachal in Kanyakumari for the past few days. Day before the recent past, they shot a scene where the hero and heroine escape in a boat from villains Ponvannan, Mahanadi Shankar and others.
As soon as the director K Raghavan called for a take, the waves unexpectedly rocked the boat Karthika was in. Cameraman Raj Pradeep was shooting the scene. The boat unexpectedly started to move fast and without a grip, Karthika fell into the sea water and went under. This put the film crew in dread. When Karthika surfaced, she waved her arms and called out for help. Some fishermen heard her cries for help, saved her and brought her ashore. Karthika was then taken to hospital for treatment.
When asked about this mishap, Karthika says with snuffle of joy, “It was such an unexpected accident. When I went under water, I thought this is it. But god came in the form of the fishermen and I was saved.”
