Actress Arundhathi Nair, renowned for her role in the Vijay Antony-starrer ‘Saithan’, was involved in a serious motorcycle accident on March 14, 2024. Reports indicate that she sustained critical injuries and is currently receiving ventilator support at Ananthapuri Hospital in Trivandrum.
Confirming the incident, Arundhathi’s sister, Arathy Nair, stated, “We felt the need to clarify the news reported in Tamil Nadu’s newspapers and television channels. It is true that my sister Arundhathi Nair had an accident three days ago; she is critically injured and fighting for her life while being kept on a ventilator at the Ananthapuri Hospital in Trivandrum.”
According to accounts, the actress was traveling on a bike with her brother along the Chennai Kovalam bypass road when the accident occurred. Sources suggest she was struck by a vehicle while returning from an interview with a YouTube channel.
Close friend and fellow actress Gopika Anil has reached out for financial assistance from followers and fans to aid with Arundhathi’s medical expenses. In a social media post, Anil stated, “My friend @arundhathi.nair_ met with an accident the previous day and is in very critical condition. As she fights for her life on a ventilator, the daily hospital expenses are becoming too huge to afford. We are doing our part but that seems insufficient to meet the current hospital requirements. I request you all to kindly contribute the way you can so that it would be very helpful for her family. Thank you so much.”
Arundhathi’s most recent appearance was in the Tamil film ‘Aayiram Porkaasukal’ in 2023.
