Suchitra Krishnamoorthi Apologises For Sharing 'Fake' News About Ahmedabad Plane Crash Survivor 'Lying' About Being A Passenger On Air India Flight
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa co-star, actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, has issued a public apology after sharing misinformation about Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, survivor of the recent Ahmedabad plane crash. On Thursday (June 19), the actress took to X (formerly known as Twitter), to question the authenticity of Ramesh, the lone survivor of the tragic incident.
However, after being called out for sharing fake information, she deleted the post and issues an apology.
Suchitra's now-deleted post read, "So this #vishwaskumarramesh lied about bng a passenger on the plane & the only survivor? This is seriously weird. Didn't his family in the UK corroborate his story? What abt his brother’s funeral that he was seen giving kandha to? Deserves not only some serious punishmnt but some mental asylum time if this is true uff (sic)."
However, shortly after, the actress retracted her statement and apologised for spreading what turned out to be false information.
In a follow-up post, she wrote, "Took out my last tweet on the Air India crash survivor. Seems to be false news circulated for God knows what reason. My apologies."

Vishwas, a 40-year-old British businessman from Leicester, was discharged from Ahmedabad's Civil Hospital on June 17. He and his brother Ajay, both originally from Diu, were returning to London after visiting family in the Union Territory when tragedy struck.
On June 18, he led the funeral procession of Ajay in Diu. Still visibly injured and with bandages on his face, Vishwas shouldered the mortal remains of his brother, who had been seated beside him on the ill-fated Ahmedabad–London Gatwick flight on June 12.
