The crash involved Air India Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner that had departed from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport en route to London Gatwick. Tragically, the plane crashed just minutes after takeoff, claiming the lives of over 200 people, including crew and passengers. The tragedy triggered a wave of condolences across the country and Sunjay Kapur was among the many public figures who reacted.
Now, Sunjay Kapur’s heartfelt message is being widely circulated and talked about on social media, with many expressing disbelief and grief over the tragic coincidence. Several users noted the emotional weight of his words in light of what happened later, with some reflecting on the unpredictability of life and the irony of him expressing sorrow over a tragedy just before facing one himself.
