Kannada actress, Rekha Krishnappa, became the victim of an apparent case of mistaken identity, when she was reported dead in an early morning road accident that took place at Natrampalli in Tamil Nadu. The actress took to Facebook in order to clarify that she was indeed alive and well.
Krishnappa posted a video on her Facebook page with the text, "I am all fine guys.....at present in Sringeri sharada peeta temple."
Rekha Krishnappa, also seen in some Tamil TV serials, was mistaken for Rekha Sindhu, a 22-year-old model who appeared in ad films. Sindu was killed on the spot with three others when the driver of the car she was travelling "dozed off" and rammed the vehicle into the median, Natrampalli police said.
The incident happened on the busy Chennai-Bengaluru highway and three other occupants of the car, including the driver, sustained injuries, cops added. She was on her way to Bengaluru.
Due to certain media reports claiming that Rekha Krishnappa was the one killed in the mishap, she was prompted to issue a clarification on social media.
