‘Swades’ actor Gayatri Joshi’s husband to be probed for road homicide after 2 died in car crash

‘Swades’ actor Gayatri Joshi and her husband Vikas Oberoi made headlines on October 4 after reports of them miraculously escaping a tragic car accident surfaced online.

Now, according to a Daily Mail report, Vikas will be probed for road homicide in Italy in connection with a Ferrari-Lamborghini crash that killed two Swiss nationals. He may face up to 7 years in jail.

Vikas Oberoi was allegedly driving a Lamborghini as part of an Italian supercar tour last week and his wife Gayatri was in the passenger seat when the accident happened.

According to reports, the two luxury vehicles were attempting to overtake the huge campervan ahead of them. In the process, they collided and a major accident took place. The van overturned on the road and the Ferrari caught fire.

Video of the shocking car crash is going viral on the internet.

Gayatri confirmed to Free Press Journal that she and her husband were doing ‘absolutely fine’ after the tragic accident.

The portal reported Gayatri as saying, ‘Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here.. With gods grace, we both are absolutely fine.’

Gayatri’s work front

In 2000, Gayatri Joshi won the Femina Miss India International. She made her acting debut with 2004 film ‘Swades’. She starred opposite Shah Rukh Khan as Geeta in the critically-acclaimed Ashutosh Gowariker film.

Despite winning quite a few awards for her debut, she left the industry.

Gayatri tied the knot with businessman Vikas Oberoi in 2005 and the couple have two kids.

Gayatri is sometimes spotted in Mumbai. She and her husband were seen on a get-together with Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan in 2022. In 2019, Gayatri had made headlines for losing 40000 in a credit card fraud.

‘Prima facie, it seems to be a case of card cloning. The complainant has claimed that someone stole her card details and duplicated it later to withdraw money,’ a police officer had told Hindustan Times.
