Recently, Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko made news following the tragic car accident that took his father’s life. Now on the road to recovery, the actor is sharing his thoughts publicly for the first time.

Shine Tom Chacko details about losing his father

During his chat with The Cue, Shine Tom Chacko shared that he was often napping in the back seat. Upon waking from sleep, he’d ask his father for a biscuit, and more often than not, his father would give him two or three biscuits. But on one occasion when I blinked open my eyes, our vehicle had been involved in an accident. At that time, I was in the back seat. Tragically, after this incident, his father never spoke to any of us again.

In further discussion about the event, the Devara actor explained how the situation unexpectedly unfolded. He stated, “Prior to this incident, an accident was merely something I observed. However, experiencing it firsthand…I found myself overwhelmed and in tears, on the roadside, repeatedly pleading – ‘Someone, anyone, please help us; someone, anyone, take us to the hospital.’

Additionally, Shine Tom Chacko explained that despite being seated in the front, his brother Joe John Chacko amazingly avoided any harm. As Joe walked, it puzzled the actor if he was genuinely alright or concealing an unnoticed injury that might cause him to collapse later on.

The actor went on to explain that his father had stopped him from driving due to his use of medications from recovery centers. Regarding his mother, Shine disclosed that she hasn’t fully come to terms with his father’s death, frequently inquiring about his location while she is confined to bed due to a hip injury.
