Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has expressed his grief over the devastating Air India Dreamliner incident, which killed 241 people on board. He said he is “ filled with remorse” and that may grief transform into solidarity in honouring lost lives.

Big B took to his blog and wrote: “Most pained and filled with immense remorse on the Air India crash… empathy and support for the lives lost of our people , and across all nations and communities… may grief transform into solidarity in honouring lost lives…”


“Through transparent investigation, let there be sustained remembrance .. and resilience .. for meaningful action and prompt lessons .. and for the healing of all,” he added.


An Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12 afternoon. The aircraft, operating as Flight AI-171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick, plunged into a residential complex near BJ Medical College, killing 241 people on board.

The aircraft took off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 1.38 p.m. (IST) on Thursday before losing control moments later and crashing into a densely populated area, igniting a massive blaze and triggering emergency response teams across the city.

The ill-fated flight had 230 passengers, 10 cabin crew, and two pilots. According to officials, only one person, a British national of Indian origin seated in 11A, survived the crash and is currently undergoing treatment at a local hospital.

He also talked about “greif for him” as his dear friend lost her son.

Without naming anyone, Big B wrote: “and the morning today has been filled with another grief for me and the family .. A most dear friend lost her Son .. young energetic .. and so sudden .. the pain and the grief for our friend and us is unimaginable .. and so difficult to have the belief that it has occured.. all that one can do is PRAYER and to stand to give strength to the near and dear to bear the loss ..in deep grief and pain ..”
