The 2004 Ashutosh Gowariker film Swades is often considered one of Shah Rukh Khan’s finest performances. The actor shed his superstar persona, embracing a man-next-d00r image that earned critical acclaim. Matching his performance was the film’s debutant lead, Gayatri Joshi. The model-turned-actress received widespread praise for her nuanced performance. However, despite the appreciation, Swades remained her only film.
After achieving success as a model, Gayartri Joshi made her Bollywood debut with Swades. Though the film underperformed at the box office, her performance was widely appreciated. Starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan at the peak of his career could have opened many doors for her in the film industry, but Gayatri chose a different path. Just weeks after the film’s release, she married businessman Vikas Oberoi and bid adieu to the world of glitz and glam.
Gayatri Joshi’s husband, Vikas Oberoi, is a renowned businessman, who oversees Oberoi Construction, one of India’s leading real estate firms. He is one of India’s richest businessman, with a an astonishing net worth of $6 billion ( ₹50,000 crore), according to Forbes. He has Westin hotel in suburban Mumbai and is also developing the city’s first Ritz-Carlton hotel and residences. According to Forbes, Vikas is not related to the family behind the Oberoi hotel chain.
Gayatri Joshi and Vikas Oberoi is currently living in Mumbai with their two sons. After her marriage to Vikas, the former actress left behind the world of entertainment. Despite that, she is still connected to some of her friends from modelling and acting days. She is often seen hanging around with actors Sonali Bendre and Hrithik Roshan’s ex-wife Sussanne Khan, whom Gayatri has known for over two decades.
