Vikas and Gayatri's car crash

Earlier in October, Gayatri and Vikas Oberoi had returned to Mumbai, days after their car crash in Sardinia, Italy that left two Swiss nationals dead. Vikas was reportedly driving one of the cars involved in the fatal car crash, but after an investigation, he was let off as there was reportedly no prima facie case against him.

A video of the crash involving two luxury sports cars – a Lamborghini and a Ferrari – had gone viral. A couple from Switzerland – Markus Krautli and Melissa Krautli – died in the crash that caused a camper to overturn. According to a report by Italian publication L'Unione Sarda, Vikas was driving the blue Lamborghini Huracan. The roof of the Lamborghini was reportedly ripped off, but both Vikas and Gayatri were unharmed.

Oberoi Realty, in a statement at the time had said, "Our chairman and managing director Mr Vikas Oberoi and his wife Mrs Gayatri Oberoi had met with accident in Sardinia, Italy on 2nd October 2023. By God's grace they both are unhurt and have returned back home to Mumbai safely.

Gayatri, who was seen alongside Shah Rukh Khan in Ashutosh Gowariker's 2004 film Swades, had confirmed in a Free Press Journal report last month that she and her husband were doing 'absolutely fine' after the car crash. The portal quoted Gayatri as saying, “Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here... With God's grace, we both are absolutely fine.”
