The last conversation between a woman and her husband, Ketan Shah, who was on board the tragic Air India crash, has been made public.

Jigneshkumar Patel, who had been friends with Shah for 15 years, shared how the news affected him and why he was concerned about the family of the deceased.

Patel shared Shah’s last conversation with his wife, Megha, before the tragic crash ended the life of his dear friend.

He said:

“Before the plane took off, he called his wife to tell her he was on the flight, and that's the last conversation she had with him.”

2. Man shares last conversation with wife

An Indian man, Nishit Soni, shared the last conversation he had with his wife, Alpa, before she died in the tragic Air India plane crash.

Nishit said that when his 55-year-old wife got to the airport, she called him to express how she felt about travelling to meet him in London. He said she also asked him if he felt the same way about her trip.

The man said:

“When she called me from the airport she told me that she was very excited to meet after all these days and also asked if I was equally excited or not.”

3. Guilt-ridden husband shares last conversation with wife

The last conversation of a 27-year-old man with his newlywed wife, who died in the Air India plane crash, has surfaced, as he mourned her painful death.

During their last conversation before her death, she told him repeatedly not to get delayed and keep her waiting at London Gatwick airport.

Following her death, the guilt-ridden widower was too traumatised to come to terms with the loss, as he blamed himself for not being with her.

He said repeatedly:

“I should have been with her.”

The 79-year-old woman, Manju, had been in Ahmedabad for several months and planned to visit her son in London, who was to pick her up at Gatwick Airport.

Chirag said the last time he had spoken to his mother was when he reminded her to take her diabetes medication.
