Actor Nora Fatehi was recently involved in a car accident on Saturday afternoon and suffered minor injury. However, she performed live with DJ David Guetta in Mumbai just hours after the accident.
Following the accident and the performance, Nora took to her Instagram and described the accident as one of the scariest and most traumatic experiences of her life. She stated that she is thankful to be alive even though she struck her head on the car window during the collision and is currently in pain.
She took to her Instagram Story and shared a brief video claiming that a drunk driver crashed his car into hers.
In one video, Nora assured her fans that she is fine and said, “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.”
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.”
Nora discussed her opinions on alcohol and drug use in response to the incident. She claimed that she has never been a fan of drugs, alcohol, or anything that changes a person's alertness or mental state.
She shared, “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.”
“I can’t believe that this is even a scenario that has to happen at 3 p.m. in the afternoon. 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,” continued Nora.
Calling the accident traumatic, Nora added, “I'm not going to lie. That was a very scary, terrifying, traumatic moment. I'm slightly still traumatized.”
She also reflected on her decision to perform on the stage following the accident. She shared, “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 said, “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.”

She concluded, “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.”
