Chennai: Noted Tamil actress Radikaa Sarathkumar from Tamil Nadu had a providential escape from the blasts in Sri Lanka as she walked out of a hotel just before the premises was hit by explosions.
“OMG bomb blasts in Sri Lanka, God be with all. I just left Colombo Cinnamon Grand Hotel and it has been bombed, can’t believe this shocking…so shocked,” the actress was on a visit to the island nation said in her tweet.
Radikaa’s husband and All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi chief R Sarathkumar, in his tweet, said,” A dastardly act of terror unleashed in Colombo is condemnable; our heart goes out to innocent lives lost in the attack.”

Sarathkumar is also a well-known Tamil actor. The actress had, ahead of the blasts, tweeted “Happy Easter, have a blessed one friends.”
At least 207 people were killed and around 500 others injured in a string of eight powerful blasts, including suicide attacks that struck three churches and luxury hotels frequented by foreigners in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.
The explosions shattered a decade of peace in the island nation after the end of the civil war with the LTTE.
