His family members were asleep when the accident occurred and discovered it the next morning.

A video from the private event showed Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan in white clothing speaking with industry insiders. Shah Rukh Khan, who is preparing for the release of his film 'King', was also seen at the gathering.
Filmmaker Milap Zaveri was present at the meet and appeared emotional while paying tribute to Gupta. The director's last rites were performed on October 31 at the Versova crematorium by his children, Shivansh and Dalai.
Gupta directed and produced films such as 'Kaante', 'Musafir', 'Zinda', 'Shootout at Wadala', 'Jazbaa', 'Kaabil', and 'Mumbai Saga'.
