Chandrakanth, who appeared to have injured his arm and head, also revealed to the press the timeline of the accident, talking to NS Entertainment and saying, “We were traveling from Bengaluru to Hyderabad because we had to shoot here. We started at 3 pm, but due to the heavy rains in Bengaluru, we were delayed by 3 hours. Me, Pavi (Pavihtra) and her niece (her sister’s daughter) were traveling together. I fell asleep as we had a driver. But at 12.30 am or so an RTC bus overtook us from the left, and our driver swerved to the right. The car hit the divider, and the windshield broke due to impact. ”
He also claimed that Pavithra passed away from a stroke due to shock and not due to an injury, saying, “It didn’t look like anyone was hurt, only I was, and she (Pavithra) looked shocked to see that. She had a stroke, and I fell unconscious. By the time we were brought to the hospital, it was 1 am, it was 4 am by the time I gained consciousness. That’s when I found out she died.”
