Vaibhavi Upadhyaya, widely known for her role in the blockbuster television series Sarabhai vs Sarabhai: Take 2, was killed in a car accident in Himachal Pradesh. She died at the state’s Kullu district’s Banjar region.
Vaibhavi was born in Gujarat on July 28, 1990. She also has a brother, Ankit Upadhyaya, and a sister, Jinal Thaker. According to media sources, she was engaged to Jay Suresh Gandi.
