Grieving mum shares why she blames herself
The video, shared by NTT on YouTube, captured the mother's words as she reflected on her daughter's dreams and aspirations.
Maithili Patil, a 23-year-old air hostess, was one of the crew members who lost her life in the ill-fated flight that crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12.
Her grieving mother recalled how her daughter had always been drawn to the skies, with a childhood dream of becoming an flight attendant.
As she struggled to come to terms with her daughter's death, the mother questioned whether she had done the right thing by supporting her daughter's aspirations.
According to her, if she had not supported her daughter and allowed her to become an air hostess, she would have still been alive.
The woman further recounted how her husband and other family members had kicked against the decision, but she stood her ground and allowed her daughter to join Air India.

In her words:
"She joined Air India at 21 years old. She always wanted to be an air hostess. Since childhood, it was her dream. When she was in 4th standard, she had this desire to become an air hostess. And maybe I did wrong by fulfilling her wish. If I hadn't fulfilled her wish today, my child would be with me. Was it my mistake? Did I commit some crime?
"Maybe the parents who are right are the ones who don't let their children follow their own path, but instead make them follow their own will. 'Do what I say, that's what you'll do when you grow up.' Maybe that's what's right. No one supported me in making her an air hostess. Not even my husband. To be honest, he once told me, 'What line are you pursuing? It's her dream, her aspiration.' It's my responsibility to fulfill it. I'll do it. Maybe I was wrong."
