In a shocking incident two unidentified robbers robbed the Former Miss World Yukta Mookhey of her car, the gold colored Maruti Baleno and other valuables.

According to the reports Yukta had visited the Leelavati hospital in Mumbai on May 7 to see her ailing grandmother who had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital after a minor heart attack.

Reports say that around the noon time (when she was inside the hospital) two unidentified men approached Yukta’s driver—who happened to be waiting for her by the car—and threatened him. The shaken driver could not resist the intrepid robbers and the duo fled with the car and other valuables in it.

Yukta, who will soon make her Bollywood debut in A. Muthu’s film “Pyaasa” ( opposite Aftab Shivdasani and Syed Zulfi), was said to be in the state of shock over the incident. She said that it is “completely unexpected and awful thing to have happened” particularly when she is already worried over the bad health of her beloved grandmother.

A livid Yukta has also reported to the police that the car had her jewellery worth Rs10,000, a very expensive watch and cash amounting to another ten thousand approximately.
