On the early hours of Wednesday, actress turned politician Khushboo Sundar met with an accident while she was on her way to participate in BJP’s ‘Vel Yatra’. The accident happened near Melmaruvathur in Tamil Nadu, when a tanker rammed into her vehicle. The actress and her niece Raja Priya who were travelling in the car miraculously escaped unhurt.

Tweeting pictures of her damaged car, the actress wrote, " Met with an accident near Melmarvathur..a tanker rammed into us.With your blessings and God's grace I am safe. Will continue my journey towards Cuddalore to participate in #VelYaatrai #Police are investigating the case. #LordMurugan has saved us. My husband's trust in him is seen".

Khushboo further clarified that the container tanker rammed into her vehicle and not the other way. "My car was on the move in the right lane and this container came from nowhere and rammed into me. Police are investigating n questioning the driver to rule out any foul play."

It is to be noted that the BJP is conducting the yatra despite the state AIADMK government banned it over Covid worries.

Thank you so much for all the inquiries n good wishes. I feel indebted. I am safe n continuing my journey towards Cuddalore. Nothing has stopped me before this, nothing will stop me now either. Zindagi har kadam ek nayi Jung hai. Jeet jaayenge hum tu agar sang hai #VelYaatrai
