I bashed my head on the window,” Nora said.She added, “I'm alive and I'm well. Except for some minor injuries, swelling and a slight concussion, I'm okay. I'm grateful for that.

She said she has never liked the idea of alcohol, drugs or anything that alters a person’s state of mind or alertness.“In fact, I am not someone who has ever liked the idea of alcohol or anything like such as drugs, weed, anything that puts you in a different state of mind… It is not something I promote or even enjoy being around… You should not drink and drive. It's 2025. I cannot believe that this is even a conversation,” she said.Nora lamented, “I can’t believe that this is even a scenario that has to happen at 3 p.m. In the afternoon. I could never imagine someone would be driving under the influence and putting people in harm's way. Having said that, I just want to let everyone know I'm okay. I'm going to be suffering from pain for some time, but, thank God I am alive.”For Nora, it was a terrifying incident, as she puts, “I'm not going to lie. That was a very scary, terrifying, traumatic moment. I'm slightly still traumatized.”On getting on stage after the accidentIn her clips, Nora also spoke about her decision to perform after the accident. She said, “I don't let anything get in the way of my work, my ambition, and any opportunities that I get. So, no drunk driver was going to get in that kind of opportunity.

That might look crazy to you, but long story short, don't drink and drive,” Nora shared.Concluding her message, Nora thanked everyone who reached out to check on her wellbeing, expressing heartfelt gratitude for the concern and support she received.“I want to say thank you to everyone who's been reaching out to see if I'm okay. I really appreciate that. It does mean a lot to me and thank you to my fans who have been messaging, I know everyone's so concerned. But again, I have to reiterate, don't drink and drive,” she said.Nora added, “There have been so many cases in India, in Mumbai itself, of people who killed other innocent people because they were drinking and driving. There is no excuse for that. I'm grateful that I'm okay and safe. I definitely saw my life flash behind right in front of my eyes, and I don't wish that upon anybody.”What we know about Nora's accidentNora met with the accident when she was heading to her appearance at DJ David Guetta's concert in Mumbai.
