They were travelling in the Lamborghini which was involved in the collision with the Krautli’s Ferrari and the campervan.
Gayatri, who starred in Bollywood blockbuster Swades, told India‘s The Free Press Journal: ‘Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here (multiple-car collision)… With God’s grace, we both are absolutely fine.’
Footage of the collision shows a white van in front of a line of colourful sports cars on the road in South Sardinia, Italy, yesterday.
But seconds later footage shows the red Ferrari close behind the blue Lamborghini, trying to overtake the camper at the same time.
It appears to cause the Lamborghini to smash underneath the van, which is then violently flipped onto its side.
The Ferrari, which is out of view on the other side of the campervan, also overturned and caught fire, trapping the couple who were inside, according to reports.
Mr and Mrs Krautli were aged 67 and 63. They burned to death in the incident, according to local media.

Firefighters and air ambulance operators were working on site and the road was closed.
A couple from Selva di Val Gardena, aged 61 and 62, who were travelling in the campervan were injured and taken to hospital.
‘We were lying sideways in our seats. For a moment we were silent in disbelief. Then I looked into my wife’s eyes and asked her if she was okay. She nodded,’ Lorenzo M, who was sitting in the campervan, told Italian news outlet L’Unione Sarda.

The couple had departed from Forte Village and were heading for Mores, Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera reports.
According to Italian media, all occupants of the luxury cars took part in the Sardinia Supercar Experience event, which started in Teulada and was set to finish in Olbia.
Over the course of a few days, the participants drive across the island in Ferraris and Lamborghinis, visit viewpoints and stay overnight in expensive hotels.
If tourists travel in their own car, the trip costs £10,409. A multi-day trip in a rental Ferrari SF90 from the organiser can be booked for £21,515.
