Actor Vikrant Massey recently addressed a misunderstanding that arose after the tragic Air India plane crash on Thursday. He took to social media to clarify that Clive Kunder, one of the crash’s victims, was not his cousin but rather a family friend. Massey urged people to refrain from further speculation and to give the grieving family the space they need.

The confusion stemmed from an emotional post Vikrant shared on Instagram, where he referred to “my uncle Clifford Kunder’s son, Clive Kunder” as one of the deceased. This led many to assume Clive was his cousin.

Later that night, Vikrant posted a follow-up statement to clear things up: “Dear friends in the media and elsewhere, the sadly deceased Mr. Clive Kunder was not my cousin. The Kunders are our family friends. I kindly request no more speculation and to allow the family and loved ones to grieve in peace,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.

Earlier in the day, grappling with the shock of the incident, Vikrant expressed his sorrow: “My heart breaks for the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in the unimaginably tragic air crash in Ahmedabad today. It pains even more to know that my uncle, Clifford Kunder, lost his son, Clive Kunder, who was the first officer on that fateful flight.”

The Air India Flight AI171 tragedy occurred shortly after its departure from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was carrying 242 passengers, including 12 crew members, when it encountered critical issues shortly after takeoff. The pilot, Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal, issued a Mayday distress call but, despite his efforts, the aircraft crashed, resulting in only one known survivor.

The incident has shocked the nation and the aviation industry, leading to an outpouring of condolences from across the community.
