Speaking on the investigation, Shweta noted that no investigation will ever bring her husband back.

She said:

"For those of us that have lost loved ones, we've lost them, they are not coming back. What will they do in the investigation? Tell us how it happened? The life of how many people, 250 passengers, what will they say, sorry? Everything is done, everything is finished."

She became emotional as she talked about the impact of the loss on her 11-year-old son, Vihaan, who told her he’d never fly Air India again.
