Oberoi Reality MD Vikas Oberoi and wife Gayatri Joshi miraculously escape fatal supercar tour crash

In a terrifying incident on a rural road in Sardinia, Bollywood actress Gayatri Joshi, famed for her role alongside Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Swades,’ narrowly escaped a fatal car accident. The mishap occurred as she was traveling with her husband, Vikas Oberoi. The accident involved a series of vehicles, including a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, and a camper van, resulting in a devastating collision.

Reports indicate that the crash transpired when several high-speed cars attempted to overtake the camper van simultaneously, leading to its overturn. Tragically, the Ferrari caught fire, claiming the lives of Melissa Krautli, 63, and Markus Krautli, 67, an elderly couple from Switzerland. The incident, as reported by the Free Press Journal, shook witnesses with its intensity.

Grateful for their safety, Gayatri expressed her relief, stating, “Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here (multiple-car collision). With God’s grace, we both are absolutely fine,” as reported by the Free Press Journal.

The collision, which involved luxury cars participating in the Supercar Tour, shocked witnesses and social media users alike. Disturbing images and videos of the incident quickly circulated online, leaving viewers in a state of shock and disbelief. Remarkably, despite the severity of the crash, the couple inside the overturned campervan sustained only minor injuries, adding a miraculous twist to this otherwise tragic event.

Oberoi Reality’s Shares Plunge After Vikas Oberoi’s Legal Woes

Oberoi Reality, led by Vikas Oberoi, the current managing director, has faced a significant blow to its reputation and financial standing. Following the news of Vikas’s impending incarceration, the company witnessed a sharp decline in its share price, plummeting to 1091.05, marking a nearly 3% decrease by the close of Thursday’s market session. Investors and industry experts keenly observe the repercussions of this development on the real estate giant’s stability in the market.

Italian Authorities Probe Supercar Tour Crash

Italian authorities have launched a comprehensive investigation into the recent multiple-car collision incident. Vikas Oberoi, who was driving the blue Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, might confront a 7-year imprisonment term if he is charged and proven guilty by the legal authorities in Cagliari. The billionaire in the real estate and hospitality industry was accompanied by his wife, Bollywood actress Gayatri Joshi, who was in the passenger seat of the supercar. The accident occurred when their Lamborghini collided with a red Ferrari Portofino convertible during the Sardinia Supercar Tour.

Currently, authorities are investigating Vikas Oberoi’s involvement in the incident. However, the critical question remains: who bears the actual responsibility? As depicted in the video, several supercars are seen overtaking the motorhome. Observing this, Vikas also tries to pass the same motorhome. Simultaneously, the Ferrari in the footage approaches at a considerably higher speed, aiming to overtake both the Lamborghini and the motorhome simultaneously.

Upon closer scrutiny, it appears that the primary fault in this situation lies with the Ferrari driver. Nevertheless, careful analysis reveals that Vikas was unaware of the speeding Ferrari and could have exercised caution. Yet, given the swift sequence of events, solely blaming him seems unjustifiable.

Meanwhile, Joshi’s talent transcended the silver screen; she graced music videos like Jagjit Singh’s ‘Kaghaz Ki Kashti’ and Hans Raj Hans’ ‘Jhanjaria,’ showcasing her versatility. Despite the success of ‘Swades,’ Joshi chose to step back from the film industry after the movie’s release, prioritizing her personal life.

The recent accident during the Sardinia Supercar Tour brought her back into the public eye, prompting Italian authorities to seize the remains of all three vehicles involved for in-depth examination. The incident has not only rekindled interest in Joshi’s career but has also raised questions about the safety protocols during such high-profile events.
