Gayatri Joshi, former co-star of Shah Rukh Khan in the movie Swades, along with her husband Vikas Oberoi, recently found themselves involved in a harrowing car accident while in Italy. Thankfully, Gayatri has confirmed that both she and her husband are safe and sound.

Reports indicate that this accident occurred as part of a multiple-car collision in Sardinia. It was a distressing moment when several high-performance vehicles, including a Lamborghini and Ferrari, attempted to overtake a camper van simultaneously. Tragically, this led to a fire in the Ferrari, resulting in the loss of the lives of an elderly Swiss couple, Melissa Krautli, 63, and Markus Krautli, 67.

Gayatri Joshi, who achieved recognition by winning the Femina Miss India International title in 2000, made her debut in the acting world through Ashutosh Gowariker Swades. Her portrayal of Geeta alongside Shah Rukh Khan received critical acclaim. Despite her promising start in Bollywood, Gayatri decided to step away from the industry. She tied the knot with businessman Vikas Oberoi in 2005, and the couple now has two children.

While Gayatri has distanced herself from Bollywood over the years, she occasionally makes appearances in Mumbai. Just last year, she and Vikas were seen enjoying a lunch outing in the city with Hrithik Roshan, Sussanne Khan, Sonali Bendre, and her husband Goldie Behl.
