Earlier this year, Nandini Kashyap’s career took off as Rudra emerged as a box office success. Also featuring Ravi Sharma, Adil Hussain, Joy Kashyap and Arrchita Agarwaal in key roles, the movie was penned by director Roopak Gogoi. Rudra hit the screens on June 27.
Although Nandini is currently in police custody, it is reported that this is not her first involvement in a vehicular offence, the difference this time being that it tragically resulted in the loss of a life. “Kashyap’s vehicle was penalised several times for speeding and many challans were issued in different districts,” Guwahati Police Deputy Commissioner (Traffic) Jayanta Sarathi Borah told PTI.
