The Indian drama film Swades was released almost two decades ago. However, even today it manages to give cinephiles goosebumps. The film by director and producer Ashutosh Gowariker was met with commendable reviews from movie lovers and critics alike. Moreover, the acting of Shah Rukh Khan and former actor and model Gayatri Joshi were highly praised too. Sadly, after spreading her magic on the big screen, Gayatri left the movie world to focus on her personal life. Now, in a new update, the Swades actress recently informed that her husband and she met with an accident in Italy. 

Gayatri Joshi and her husband Vikas Oberoi meet with a car accident in Italy

The couple was currently vacationing in Italy when news of their near-fatal accident made headlines. Videos of the shocking accident also made it to social media. According to a report by The Free Press Journal, Gayatri and her husband Vikas were driving on a rural road in Sardinia in their Lamborghini when the luxury car collided with a Ferrari and a camper van. Reports suggest that while the two high-performance vehicles were attempting to overtake the huge camper van ahead of them, they collided and a major accident took place. The van ahead also overturned on the road while the Ferrari caught fire.

When The Free Press Journal contacted the actress to know about their whereabouts, the actress informed that both of them were absolutely fine. She said, “Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here (multiple-car collision). With God’s grace, we both are absolutely fine.”

While the celebrity couple are safe and sound, the couple who was inside the Ferrari lost their lives.
