Still traumatised: Nora Fatehi reacts to accident, says she was flung

Mumbai: Nora Fatehi suffered a car accident on December 20, 2025, after a drunk driver rammed into her vehicle. She sustained minor injuries. Soon after, she opened up about the terrifying incident. Speaking about the unfortunate event on social media, she urged the public not to drink and drive. 

"Hey guys, I'm just coming here to tell you guys that I am okay. Yes, I was in a really serious car accident today in the afternoon. A drunk person that was driving under the influence smashed my car, and unfortunately, the impact was quite severe, and it flinged me across the car. I bashed my head on the window," said Fatehi on her Instagram stories. 

She added, "I'm alive, and I'm well. Except for some minor injuries, swelling and a slight concussion, I'm okay. I'm grateful for that. That could have ended terribly, but I came to say this to say that this is why you should not drink and drive. I hate alcohol to begin with.”

Furthermore, the actress slammed those who drive drunk. "In fact, I am not someone who has ever liked the idea of alcohol or anything like such as drugs, weed, anything that puts you in a different state of mind… It is not something I promote or even enjoy being around… You should not drink and drive. It's 2025. I cannot believe that this is even a conversation,” she said.

Nora claimed that she couldn't believe it took place in the afternoon at 3 pm.  "I could never imagine someone would be driving under the influence and putting people in harm's way. Having said that, I just want to let everyone know I'm okay. I'm going to be suffering from pain for some time, but, thank God I am alive," said the dancer. 

She went on to state that the incident was frightening. 

"I'm not going to lie. That was a very scary, terrifying, traumatic moment. I'm slightly still traumatized," said the dancer. 

Despite the accident, Nora went ahead with her performance at the David Guetta event at Sunburn in Mumbai. 

Addressing her decision, she stated, "I don't let anything get in the way of my work, my ambition, and any opportunities that I get. So, no drunk driver was going to get in that kind of opportunity. I worked way too hard to reach these milestones and moments. That might look crazy to you, but long story short, don't drink and drive." She ended her note by thanking everyone for reaching out to her and checking on her. 

"I want to say thank you to everyone who's been reaching out to see if I'm okay. I really appreciate that. It does mean a lot to me, and thank you to my fans who have been messaging. I know everyone's so concerned. But again, I have to reiterate, don't drink and drive,” said Fatehi. 

She added, "There have been so many cases in India, in Mumbai itself, of people who killed other innocent people because they were drinking and driving. There is no excuse for that. I'm grateful that I'm okay and safe. I definitely saw my life flash behind right in front of my eyes, and I don't wish that upon anybody.”

The unfortunate incident took place on Andheri West Link Road in Mumbai. The dancer's white coloured car was hit by a tourist driver named Vinay Sapkal. The accident left the dancer with a blow to her head, leading to a concussion. A case has been registered under the BNS and the Motor Vehicles Act. Meanwhile, the driver's car has been towed by the traffic police and brought to Amboli Police Station.
