Singer Chinmayi had a near-death experience while she was in Canada for a concert.The singer tells TOI, "I was on my way back from the concert when we stopped at a signal. Out of the blue, a crazy driver jumped the signal and almost rammed into our car. He was driving at a speed of at least 125 km/h and sped off before I could note down the licence plate number. He was drunk and I really detest people who drink and drive. Thank God our driver controlled the vehicle, or else, I shiver to think of what could have happened to us."
While she is upset about the experience, she can't stop smiling when she talks about her stint on the stage at the concert. "I was there in Canada to perform for a community radio service and the organisers got me the headgear Aishwarya wore when she was filming for Kilimanjaro... I sang the song from Endhiran, wearing the same headgear. It was a lovely experience," she says.
