Actress Yashika had met with a major road accident at the early hours of July 25 (Sunday) as the car that the actress and her friends were travelling in suddenly lost control and crashed into the railing.
While one of her friends, Valli Chetty Pavani was dead on the spot, the other three were rushed to a private hospital in Chennai. For the unversed, Yashika was driving when the accident occurred.
The actress who initially was not informed of her friend’s death, on knowing upon the news, posted her first ever statement after the accident where she has mentioned that she "will be forever guilty to be alive." She further penned, "I never thought I would be the reason for you to not be with us today. I don't know if I should thank God for saving me from that tragic accident or blame God my whole life for taking away by bestest friend away from me."
Post which, the actress decided to respond to the allegations that she received. She wrote, “Law is same for everyone. For all the cheap people who have been spreading rumours about me being intoxicated while driving let me tell u the police confirmed we weren’t drunk at all. And if I was I would have been behind the bars and not in hospital! Fake people spreading fake news has been going on from so long. But it’s a sensitive issue. Hope u show some humanity and show some grief towards her! Even the doctor reports would say the same! These fake media channels spreading fake news for sake of viewers and subscribers! Shame on u! I’ve filled a defamation case already for ruining my name 2 years back. But these people can go any extent for sake of gossip.”
