According to reports, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s Swades co-star Gayatri Joshi and her husband Vikas Oberoi were involved in a major car accident in Italy. Their car was involved in a multiple-car collision which left an elderly couple dead.

The accident reportedly took place as a Lamborgini and Ferrari tried to overtake a camper van simultaneously. This caused an overturn on a rural road of Sardinia and multiple cars collided.

The elderly Swiss couple - Melissa Krautli, 63, and Markus Krautli, 67 – travelling in Ferrari died when the vehicle caught fire.

Gayatri confirmed the news of the accident to an Indian publication and said that she and her husband were doing “absolutely fine”.

“Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here… With God’s grace, we both are absolutely fine,” she was quoted as saying.

The incident is said to have taken place during the Sardinia Supercar Tour as part of which luxury cars parade from Teulada to Olbia. A video of the accident that surfaced online soon after has gone viral.

Gayatri Joshi, who was born in Nagpur, Maharashtra, began her career as a video jockey. She bagged the Femina Miss India International in 2000 and made her acting debut in 2004 with Ashutosh Gowariker’s critically acclaimed film Swades, which had Shah Rukh Khan as her co-star. Despite receiving a great response for her performance in the film, Gayatri made an abrupt exit from Bollywood and tied the knot with businessman Vikas Oberoi in 2005. The couple has two kids together.

Saif Ali Khan opens up on his idea of success as Bollywood’s work hour debate takes centre stage

While much of Bollywood still chases longer hours and larger deals, Saif Ali Khan is thinking about something far simpler: getting home in time to tuck his kids in.

At a recent media event in Dubai, the actor opened up about what success means to him today. It’s not about box office numbers or prestige projects. It’s about showing up for the small moments at home, especially with his young sons, Taimur and Jeh. “Coming back to find them asleep, that’s not what I want,” he admitted. “If I can catch even thirty minutes with them at the end of the day, that’s worth more than a full day on set.”

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke condemns Netanyahu and Hamas in statement on Gaza war

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has spoken out about the war in Gaza for the first time, criticising both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas. In a detailed Instagram post published on Friday, Yorke also addressed the emotional toll of being pressured to comment on the conflict, which he said had impacted his mental health.

Yorke, known for keeping a low profile on political issues, said he had remained silent until now out of respect for victims of the ongoing war. However, he acknowledged that his lack of public comment had led some to interpret his silence as complicity.

Taylor Swift Reclaims Ownership of First Six Albums

Taylor Swift finally regains full ownership of her first six albums after years-long battle

After years of fighting for control over her early music, Taylor Swift has bought back the master recordings of her first six albums. The deal marks the end of a bitter chapter in her career and gives her full ownership of every song she’s released since her teenage debut.

It all started in 2019 when Swift’s old label, Big Machine, sold her original recordings to music executive Scooter Braun. At the time, Swift called it her “worst-case scenario,” saying she wasn’t even given the chance to buy them herself. Instead, she was offered a deal where she’d “earn” back one old album for every new one she made. She declined. Braun later sold the masters to Shamrock Capital for around £222 million (₹1,848 crore), and Swift decided to take matters into her own hands.
