In a gesture of respect and solidarity, actress Hina Khan has called off her wedding celebration with the paparazzi following the devastating Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad. The tragedy, which occurred on June 12, 2025, claimed the lives of 241 passengers and crew members, along with at least 33 people on the ground, casting a pall of grief over the nation.
Hina Khan recently tied the knot with her longtime partner, Rocky Jaiswal, in a private ceremony on June 4, 2025. The couple had planned a small reception for media friends and paparazzi to share their joy. However, in light of the tragic event, Hina felt it would be insensitive to proceed with the celebration.
"In light of the heartbreaking tragedy in Ahmedabad, we have decided to postpone our post-wedding celebration," Hina Khan announced on her social media. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families."
In a video shared online, Hina was seen apologizing to the photographers and fans who were eagerly waiting for the celebration. "There's something very important I need to share. Yesterday, I invited you all thinking we'd celebrate with a small get-together. But the tragedy that happened… it was heartbreaking. I don't think it's the right time for any celebration," she said, expressing her deep sorrow and empathy for those affected by the crash.
The Air India Flight 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route to London Gatwick, crashed shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad. The aircraft plummeted into a residential area, striking the hostel block of B. J. Medical College. The impact and subsequent fire resulted in a catastrophic loss of life, leaving only one survivor among the passengers and crew. The incident is under investigation.
Hina Khan's decision to cancel her wedding celebration has been widely appreciated by fans and the media. Many have lauded her sensitivity and respect for the victims and their families during this difficult time. Her act of empathy serves as a reminder that personal joy should sometimes take a backseat to national grief.
