Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko was involved in a horrifying car crash along with his family in the first week of June this year in Tamil Nadu, which resulted into the death of his father, CP Chacko. Recounting the jarring details of the day, Shine said how it was only moments ago that his father had offered him a biscuit, and the next thing he knew, the car had crashed.

“I was lying in the back seat. Instead of smoking, I had developed this habit of eating something, like a biscuit. I would wake up and ask Dad for a biscuit. He gave me some two or three times. Then, when I opened my eyes again, the car had crashed. I was in the back. After that, dad never communicated with any of us again,” he told The Cue.

He went on to say that the accident was so sudden that it took them time to realise that they were lying on the road, and his mother kept asking why they were there. “I broke down and cried, standing on the road, ‘Someone please come and help, someone please get us to the hospital’,” he recalled.
