Actress Karthik has narrow escape

Tamil movie actress Karthik Srinivasan faced a narrow escape. The devastating earthquake which struck Nepal on Saturday has left nearly 2,000 people dead and several injured, besides causing widespread property damage. Amongst the survivors was Karthik Srinivasan, who acted in Sri Prawin's Kalicharan, which released in 2013. The actress had moved to Nepal after getting married and for the past few months, she has been living in Kathmandu. A day after the earthquake wreaked havoc in Nepal, Karthik took to her profile on a social networking site informing her friends that she is safe. "We are ok! Never been so shook up, literally...flung from side to side of a room on the 3rd floor of a building, didn't know if we would make it out...tremors all through the night, no electricity, water, phone... But we're alive! Now to pick up the pieces of our home and city. Thanks for all your love and concern. (sic)," she posted on her page. A graduate from MIT, where she studied architecture and city planning, the actress had moved to India to try her luck in films and had acted in Kalicharan and another Tamil film titled Aadhiyum Andhamum.
