The Bollywood actress and politician Hema Malini, who was involved in a car crash on Thursday that resulted in the death of a two-year-old girl, was discharged on Saturday from a hospital where she was undergoing treatment after the accident in Dausa, Rajasthan, according to hospital officials. Four others were injured in the accident.
Malini’s driver, Mahesh Chand Thakur, was arrested on charges of speeding and causing death by negligence. He was later granted bail.
Malini, 66, was admitted to hospital after sustaining injuries when her Mercedes-Benz rammed into another car, injuring four members of the Kandelwal family and killing the fifth.
“Hema Malini was discharged at around 9.30am,” said Prateem Tamboli, facility director of Fortis Escorts Hospital.

Volunteers offer workers a lifeline
Community volunteers have swung into action delivering food packages and toiletries to the men.
When provisions are distributed, the men line up in long queues for packets of rice, flour, sugar, salt, pulses, milk, biscuits, shaving kits, soap and telecom cards.
Volunteers from St Mary’s Catholic Church said some workers came to the church to pray for their families and ask for assistance.
Boxes packed with essential food items were distributed to workers in the Dubai Investments Park and Ras Al Khaimah camps last week. Workers at the Sonapur camp asked for Dh1,600 towards their gas bill.
“Especially in this year of tolerance we consider ourselves privileged to be able to lend a helping hand to our needy brothers in the Actco camp," Father Lennie Connully, parish priest of St Mary’s.
Workers spoke of their helplessness, seeing children’s marriages cancelled because of lack of money going home. Others told of their misery of being unable to return home when a parent died.
“More than daily food, they are worried about not sending money home for their family,” said Kusum Dutta, a volunteer who works with the Indian consulate.
