A 17-year-old girl and her father were among those who lost their lives in the devastating Air India plane crash.

Grieving girl shares best friend's last words

Disha Thakkar, Prachi's best friend since Class 9, shared the heartbreaking details of their last interactions.

The two friends had been inseparable throughout their school years and had plans to attend the same college, Times of India reports.

In an emotional account, Disha recalled the last time she saw Prachi and what she said to her on that fateful day.

The afternoon before the fatal plane crash, Prachi took Disha to the terrace and tightly hugged her. "She said, ‘No matter what, I'll always be with you. No one can separate us'," Disha recalled.

The friends had a birthday gift-giving ritual, and Prachi insisted on giving Disha a present, even though her birthday had been six months earlier.

"This is the last time I am giving you something," Prachi joked, as she took Disha to a shop and laid out her own clothes for Disha to choose from.

On the day of the crash, Prachi had invited Disha to join her and her father on their delivery trip, but Disha declined due to illness.

Prachi sent Disha an Instagram message from her father's phone, asking her to call in the afternoon. Disha only saw the message that evening and replied, but it was too late.

When she called Prachi's number later that night, her aunt answered and broke the devastating news.

"I keep thinking, what if I'd gone with her, maybe things would have been different," she lamented.

Following the tragedy, Disha stayed at Prachi's house for a week, finding solace in the familiar surroundings.

Even now, she noted that she still feels Prachi's presence around her, hearing her gentle voice calling out to her.
