Veteran television actor and acclaimed Bharatanatyam dancer Sudha Chandran recently opened up about a harrowing paranormal experience she says she faced during a shoot in Gujarat, describing how it left her frozen and fearful until she turned to her faith for strength. The 60-year-old, who has long maintained she is sensitive to unusual energies, said she can “sense paranormal activity very quickly” and recounted the unsettling night in vivid detail.

Sudha Chandran details about the incident


Sudha explained that after a long day of filming, she reached her motel room around 11:30 pm, ate dinner and went to sleep beside her mother. She said she woke up suddenly to find a cupboard open and “could sense an energy moving towards me.” As the presence seemed to approach, she described it feeling like “a heavy weight pressing down on my chest.” She recalled desperately trying to speak or move, but “no sound was coming out.” Even though her mother was right next to her, she said she couldn’t lift her hands.



Sudha said the energy seemed to grow stronger and “growling,” giving her the terrifying sense that it was “entering my body.” In that moment, she said her only recourse was prayer: “I took the name of Lord Kartik, somehow struck my mother with my hand, and suddenly my voice came back.” The heavy pressure, she said, lifted from her chest, leaving her shaken but relieved. Her mother then applied vibhuti, sacred ash, which helped her calm down.

In the same interview, Sudha also shared another eerie experience from a shoot in South India, where she said she often heard unexplained sounds at night, “the sound of anklets and the sound of a woman crying.” When she asked those around her about the noises, she said the reply was simply, “This place itself is like this.”

The previous incident

Sudha’s accounts combine personal belief with spiritual interpretation. She believes her sensitivity to unseen energies guides her understanding of such experiences and underscores how deeply her faith and spiritual grounding shape her responses when confronted with what she perceives as the inexplicable.

Earlier, there was an incident at Mata Ka Jagrata where Sudha was seen dancing in trance, fans wondered whether she was possessed by the spiritual energies around.
