House help shares Sabharwal's last words

When asked when the last time they talked was, Sonam said she couldn't remember the exact date, but said it was before he left home to fly the deadly plane.

Sonam said he told her to care for his aged father, adding that he would not be around for four to five days. In her words:

"I don't remember the date (the last time they spoke), but on the day he was leaving, he was telling me that I'm going tomorrow. Take care of papa. I will not be there for four to five days."

Sonam said Sabharwal never called her by her name, but just 'Beta' or 'Bacha.' She noted that he was very calm, reserved, and did not talk much.

"He was very calm by nature. Doesn't talk much. He didn't speak about anything except about his child."

Sonam only found out about the plane crash through a call from a colleague of his, asking for family contact numbers.

Mojo Story's interview with Sonam elicited mixed reactions online.
