Veteran actress Sharada met with an accident on 6 March at Akupamula in Nalgonda district in Telengana state and has suffered minor injuries.
Doctors have assured that the actress' condition is stable and she will recover soon. The car in which she was travelling reportedly lost control while taking a turn and rammed into the bushes near the roads.
Incidentally, politician Nandamuri Hari Krishna's elder son and producer Nandamuri Janakiram too had met with an accident at a spot close to Sharada's accident spot a few months ago. Janakiram passed away soon after he suffered some fatal injury in the incident.
