A couple of days ago, the Indian entertainment industry woke up to the shocking news of the demise of young actress Vaibhavi Upadhyaya. The actress, known for her performance in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai Season 2 as Jasmine, was exploring Himachal Pradesh with her fiancé Jay Gandhi when her vehicle was expected to be hit by a truck. Followed by this, some claimed that the couple was not wearing seat belts but Jay, who is recovering from the sustained injuries during the accident, clarified on the same.
Recalling the incident, Jay Gandhi asserted that a truck hit their car and Vaibhavi Upadhyaya was thrown off the vehicle. She reportedly sustained several head injuries and that even though, she received help from the locals, by the time they reached the hospital it was too late for the actress. Jay told ETimes, “There is a notion that you speed on road trips, but that was not the case. Our car was standing still and waiting for the truck to pass. I am not in a state to talk much, but I wanted to ensure that people don’t assume that we were not wearing seat belts or were speeding.”
In the same interview, Jay’s statement was corroborated by Vaibhavi’s brother Ankit Upadhyaya as he continued, "She was always cautious and would never sit in a car without a seat belt. So, on a road trip, she would be extra cautious. The doctors also confirmed how there were seat belt marks around her neck. It is sad that we were thinking of planning her marriage, but now she is gone.”
JD Majethia who has worked with Vaibhavi Upadhyaya had revealed about the actress not wearing a seatbelt when he attended her funeral and along with him, one of the police officials in charge had also mentioned about it.
