Bollywood Star Vivek Oberoi Recounts Harrowing Near-Death Experiences on Set
16 Nov
Summary
- Vivek Oberoi narrowly escaped death during filming of 2002 movie 'Road'
- Camel cart rods smashed windshield, would have hit him if seat was upright
- Took control from reckless driver who was speeding
In November 2025, Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi is gearing up for the release of his upcoming comedy film 'Mastiii 4'. But before the laughs begin, Oberoi has recounted two terrifying incidents from his past that nearly cost him his life.
During a 2002 shoot for the film 'Road' in Rajasthan, Oberoi was travelling from Bikaner to Jaisalmer at night. Despite repeatedly warning the driver to slow down due to poor visibility, disaster struck when a camel cart carrying rods suddenly appeared on the road. The rods smashed the windshield, and Oberoi believes that if his seat had been upright, they would have hit him directly. Trapped in the car with the rods above him, Oberoi miraculously emerged unscathed.
Oberoi also shared another frightening experience with a reckless driver. On another occasion, he had to take control of the vehicle himself after telling the driver to stop and use the restroom, as the driver was speeding dangerously.
After these harrowing incidents, Oberoi vowed to never travel at night again. Now, as he prepares for the release of the latest installment in the popular 'Masti' comedy franchise, Oberoi's fans can look forward to seeing him bring the laughs on the big screen once more.
