Shabana Azmi in ICU after car crash on Mumbai-Pune Expressway
New Update

Shabana Azmi was recently injured in a car accident when her vehicle
rammed into a truck on Pune-Mumbai Expressway in Maharashtra’s Raigad district.
The actress was admitted to Kokilaben Ambani hospital in suburban Andheri after
initial treatment at MGM Hospital in Navi Mumbai.

According to
doctors, she has suffered a head injury, and there is slight damage to the
backbone.

Her husband,
veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar, who was travelling with her, escaped with a
minor injury. The lyricist tells sources, “She is in the ICU but all the
scan reports are positive. It seems there’s no serious harm done.”

Javed’s
first wife, filmmaker Honey Irani, filmmaker-daughter Zoya Akhtar,
actor-filmmkaer-son Farhan Akhtar, Shabana’s niece and actress Tabu, actor
Vicky Kaushal, filmmaker Ashutosh and wife Sunita Gowariker, producer Ritesh
Sidhwani, and producer Boney Kapoor were among the first to visit her at the
hospital.

Kapoor tells
sources that doctors did not think her condition is alarming. She has been
given sedatives to avert pain. He adds besides her husband and sister Tanvi
(Azmi, actress), no one is allowed to enter the ICU.

An FIR was
filed against Azmi’s driver for rash and negligent driving but he has not been
arrested yet. According to police, the complaint was registered by Rajesh
Pandurang Shinde, the truck driver, as his vehicle was hit from behind by the
Azmi’s car. The car will be sent for an inspection to RTO (regional transport
office) to discover if there was any fault in the vehicle or if the mishap took
place after the driver lost control.

The police
further said they will take the actres’s medical reports from MGM hospital,
where she was initially treated. The driver’s medical examination was also
conducted but he was found to not be under the influence of alcohol.
