A narrow escape for Eesha Koppikhar

Eesha Koppikhar talks about her horrifying experience en-route Nashik, where she was going to promote her upcoming film

It has been two days since Eesha Koppikhar's car got involved in an accident, however it's memory still sends a chill down her spine. On Friday, when the actress along with some other members from the unit of her upcoming film Shabri were en-route from Pune to Nashik, a speeding tempo rammed into their car. Thankfully, all the passengers had stepped out to stretch their legs when this happened.

"Vaidehi, my co-actor, who is five months pregnant was sitting in the front seat," Eesha recalls. "We reached Sangamner and decided to take a short break. Just when Vaidehi stepped out and sat on a chair, a tempo rammed into our car, before steering off the road. And then, the tempo driver just vamoosed," she recalls, pointing out that the Pune-Nashik highway is just a single-lane road.

Fortunately, they had another vehicle, so Eesha, Vaidehi, her make-up artist and hairstylist proceeded to Nashik, while the actress's staff waited to register a complaint.

While Eesha hasn't been able to follow up on the accident, she also hasn't narrated the experience to her family yet. "The travel for the promotions of Shabri has been tiring," said the actress, who also went to pray at the Shani Shingnapur temple near Shirdi post the mishap.

Films first
Eesha, who married restaurateur Timmy Narang in November 2009, has no plans of quitting films yet. "I'm reading a couple of scripts and one will be finalised by the end of this month," she enthuses, attributing her choosiness to her forthcoming film.

"The way Shabri has spoilt me, it's a little difficult for me to sign my next movie. Until I get something that's on the same level or beyond, I can't do just about any film," she explains.
