In an interview last year, the actor provided more details of the incident. She said, “I had fainted. I was told it was a very close shave. Because of the injury to the brain, I can say that I have a brain.” She said that she was back at work just 40 days later. She said, “Work keeps you going and you need to carry on. I received so much respect and concern from all parts of the world during that accident period and I think that’s one of the main reasons I recovered.”

The actor was last seen in the horror drama Kaali Khuhi. She will soon be seen in the big-budget Halo television series, executive produced by Steven Spielberg for Showtime.
