Ace comedian Ali Asgar, who is known for his work on small screen, especially for playing the famed Dadi on The Comedy Show with Kapil Sharma, met with a freak accident in the city today (February 11) early morning. Fortunately, the actor escaped unhurt after the police who instantly came to my rescue. Recalling the accident, Ali, in a statement to Times of India, said, "I was driving the car. The entire car is damaged. I was waiting at signal and suddenly I felt a loud thud and the next thing I realised, my car went ahead and hit a truck parked in front." Shocking!

Ali, luckily, escaped without any injuries. He mentioned, "The car bonnet opened and I had a lucky escape. By God’s grace nothing happened. I dread to think what would have happened had it been a moving car or if there were people walking. Why this rash driving? I am shaken after this," further thanking the police, he said, "Thankfully there were police around. A crowd gathered and the police came for help. They took care of everything and also took the guy who rammed into my car."
