MYSURU: Actors Devaraj and his son Prajwal Devaraj, who were injured in a car accident along with actor Darshan Thoogudeepa and another person on Monday, were discharged from Columbia Asia Hospital here on Tuesday.
Later interacting with the media, Devaraj and Prajwal said, “ it was a minor accident and it all happened owing to bad time.” Devaraj said, “I had gone to a friend’s place to celebrate my birthday. The accident occurred while returning from the same place.
Me and my son were sitting behind, while Darshan was seated in the front. However, he was not driving the car. Barring minor injuries, there is nothing to panic. All I have suffered is a fracture in my fingers ... there is nothing to worry. I have been told to take rest for about 10 days. It is only after that I can resume shooting.” “Barring a minor injury to my left arm and swelling to the face, there is nothing serious,” Prajwal said.
“Darshan’s condition is stable and he is consuming normal food.There is no decision yet on discharging the actor,” Dr Upendra Shenoy, cardiac surgeon and chief of medical services at Columbia Asia Hospital told TNIE.
