    Aside from Joshi and her husband, many Bollywood A-listers such as Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan etc attended the event.

    A Narrow Escape

    For the unversed, the actress was earlier involved in a near-fatal car accident in Sardinia, Italy. According to reports, the accident occurred on October 4, when a red Ferrari and a blue Lamborghini tried to overtake a camper van, leading to the Ferrari bursting into flames. Although Joshi and her husband survived the incident, an elderly couple died.

    In an interview with Free Press Journal, the ‘Swades’ actress opened up about the accident and stated that they were doing well. “Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here... With god’s grace, we are both absolutely fine,” she told the English language daily.
