Roshni Rajendra Songhare, 27, was one of the crew members on board the ill-fated Air India flight that crashed in Ahmedabad soon after takeoff. A resident of Madhabi Bungalow area on Rajaji Path in Dombivili, Songhare’s parents and brother rushed to Mumbai airport when they got the news.
Songhare, who recently joined Air India, was on duty as a flight attendant, said a relative, adding that it was her “dream” to become an air hostess.
She lived with her parents and brother in the New Umiya Krupa Society in Dombivali East. Her relatives described her as a “bright and intelligent” young woman, who achieved what she aimed for once she finished her education. In her neighbourhood, her Air India uniform was a matter of pride.
She also had a sizeable following on Instagram, 54,000 followers, and regularly posted snippets from her life there.
As soon as it became clear that Roshni was on duty on the Air India flight, Dombivili MLA and state BJP president Ravindra Chavan contacted the state government’s emergency aircraft accident department to get information and help the family.
The Songhare family previously lived in Mumbai and shifted to Dombivali two years ago.
