Janhvi Kapoor Reacts to Shocking Vadodara Crash: "Sick to My Stomach"

Bollywood actor Janhvi Kapoor has expressed shock and outrage over a tragic car accident in Vadodara, Gujarat, where a speeding vehicle struck five pedestrians, killing a woman and leaving four others seriously injured. The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Friday in the Karelibaug area, gained widespread attention after a disturbing video showed the driver shouting, "Another round," moments after the crash.

Sharing the viral video on her Instagram story, Kapoor condemned the incident, calling it "appalling and enraging." She wrote, "Sick to my stomach about anyone thinking this kind of behavior is something they can get away with. Intoxicated or not."

The accident took place around 12:30 AM when a car, driven by 20-year-old law student Rakshit Chaurasia, rammed into multiple two-wheelers, throwing the riders into the air before dragging them along the road. The victim, identified as Hemali Patel, was killed on the spot, while the four other victims sustained serious injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Panna Momaya stated that eyewitnesses believe Chaurasia was intoxicated at the time. Moments after emerging from the wrecked car, he was heard repeatedly shouting, "Another round, another round."

CCTV footage captured the horrific crash, showing the vehicle plowing into scooters before coming to a halt. A bystander's video recorded the chaotic aftermath, where Chaurasia, appearing disoriented, was confronted by enraged onlookers. His friend, Mit Chauhan, who was in the passenger seat, was seen blaming him for the accident. Chaurasia was later beaten by bystanders before being handed over to the police.

Originally from Varanasi, Chaurasia was residing in Vadodara in a paying guest accommodation. The car belonged to his friend Chauhan. Following his arrest, police launched an investigation into the circumstances leading up to the crash.
