Air India: Family of Newlywed Wife Who Died in Plane Crash Receives Compensation, Shares Plans
Weeks after the Air India plane crash, the family of a newlywed wife, Khushbu Rajpurohits, shared their plans for the compensation offered by the airline.
An Air India plane, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, crashed into the BJ Medical College and Hospital in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, and exploded into flames shortly after takeoff.

The plane was headed for London’s Gatwick Airport in the United Kingdom with 242 people on board, and only one passenger survived the crash.
Weeks after the crash, Khushbu’s family confirmed that they had received the money from the Airline, sharing their plans for spending the money, Indian Express reported.
Ravi Dadhich, Khushbu’s uncle, stated that they had received the interim compensation of Rs 25 lakh (approximately N44 million) from the airline.
With the compensation money that they would get, the family plans to do something in Khushbu’s memory, said Dadich.
In January, the Rajpurohits celebrated the wedding of their 24-year-old daughter Khushbu with much fanfare. She was supposed to fly to London to join her husband, Vipul Singh, on her first trip after exchanging vows.

Instead, it was Singh who flew down to Ahmedabad and got busy with formalities for his dead wife, says Ravi Dadhich, Khushbu’s uncle.
Her family had come down from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, to Ahmedabad to see Khushbu off. As the family was returning, they heard the news of the plane crash and came back to Ahmedabad.
He said:
“Khushbu’s husband Vipul and her parents are still struggling to come to terms with the loss and are not ready to talk much about it. Khushbu’s parents have not been keeping well. Her father had to be hospitalised once after he complained of breathlessness. The entire family is still very disturbed.”
He added:
“Our son-in-law Vipul is still here. He had gone once or twice to Ahmedabad to complete some formalities with Air India."
As families continue to receive compensation, the Nanabawa family, who lost 3 members in the crash, refused to collect the compensation.
Rather, they opened up on the plans they wanted to take instead.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the sole survivor of the Air India plane crash, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, started a new treatment a month after the accident.
The cousin of Vishwash, who gave the update, shared details about the new treatment that he has started.
Vishwash's cousin also opened up on Ramesh's plan about his return to London, where he was based before the accident.
