The blame game for the car accident that caused injuries to veteran Bollywood actor and BJP legislator Hema Malini and led to the death of a two-year-old girl has begun.
After being discharged from the hospital, the actor thought it was best to take to Twitter and blamed the girl's father for 'not following traffic rules' hence causing the tragic death of the child.
The little girl, Sonam, passed away after the car she was travelling in collided with Malini's Mercedes-Benz. While Malini suffered a nasal fracture, with other injuries on her forehead, cheeks and legs, Sonam's parents, brother and aunt were also seriously injured.
Sonam's father had earlier stated that his daughter might have made it out alive had she been taken to the hospital along with the parliamentarian.
Hema Malini also thanked her family, friends and fans for praying for her and said the ''years spent at entertainment industry brought her goodwill".
Following the accident, media had been abuzz with criticism of the legislator for not giving priority to the child by taking her to the hospital. Malini's case is not first such instance as popular actor Salman Khan also frequents courts for his hit-and-run case.
Although some backed her up, it seems that Malini's words have caused many oppose her 'victim-blaming' tactic:
