Gopika, a popular actress in Tamil and Malayalam filmdom, had a close shave when a giant wave engulfed her in the sea.

The incident happened when the actress was shooting for a Malayalam movie Santhu Pottu with actor Dileep at Azhapuzha.

A romantic song was being shot at the beach shores in Azhapuzha when a giant wave pulled Gopika inside the water.

She was immediately rescued and was rushed to a nearby hospital where she underwent immediate medication.
