Suraj said he made his daughter promise that she’d visit them again soon, as they took a selfie at the airport where he dropped her off.

“Yes, Daddy, very soon.”

The selfie she took with her parents at the airport became their last memory of her before the deadly accident.

Suraj said his only daughter had just got married and moved to London, where she set up a food business and also worked as a choreographer.

He said:

“What can I say about Kinal? She was a wonder. She lit up every room with her smile, and she could strike up a friendship with anyone. She was beautiful, inside and out. That’s just who she was.

“In just one day, our whole world has fallen apart. I don’t know if it makes me foolish, but I’m still hoping. Hoping for a miracle. Please, just one miracle.”

There were 169 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian on the flight. The mother of a one-year-old child had been identified as the only Canadian who died in the plane crash.

Meanwhile, the owners of Air India mentioned the amount they would pay to the victims of the tragic plane crash.
