on board, and only one survived the crash.

As reported by NDTV, the couple travelled to London earlier than they were expected to because they wanted to surprise their daughter, Dhavni.

Rajnikant, 58, and his wife, 54, were travelling alongside the wife’s sister, Hemangi Ben, 58, and were supposed to travel on June 17, 2025.

However, they moved their travel dates to surprise the 21-year-old Dhwani and spend more time with her.

According to the Times of India, Dhavni’s convocation at Middlesex University would be held on June 23, and instead of a reunion, she heard of her parents’ death.

As the news of the tragedy reached Dhavni, a nightmare unfolded for her cousin, Parth Patel, whose mother joined her parents on the trip.

Hemangini's son, Parth Patel, said:

“My cousin Dhvani is in East London. We were all so excited that she was going to receive her MBA degree. It was supposed to be a family reunion. Instead, I'm planning funerals.

Parth recalled how he lost his father eight months ago to a heart attack and now had to deal with his mother's sudden death.

He lamented:

“And now, I've lost my mother, uncle and aunt in one stroke. We're waiting for our paternal aunt to arrive from the US, as her DNA sample can confirm my uncle's identity.”

Meanwhile, the owners of Air India mentioned the amount they would pay to the families of the victims of the tragic plane crash.

In a related story on Legit.ng, a teenage boy, Akash Patni, who was resting near his family's tea stall, was tragically among those killed in the crash that shook Ahmedabad in India.

When the crash happened, the boy’s mother, Sita, who was unaware that her son was sleeping nearby, managed to run.

Akash’s mother, Sita, survived with injuries and is in the ICU, unaware that her son died just metres away.
