That Painful Morning in 2017
It was 2017 when Aditi Mittal was performing in London and received the news of her father's passing. This sudden sorrow left Aditi speechless and broken. As soon as she booked a flight back to Mumbai, both her mind and heart were heavy. It was here that Air India flight attendant Preeti came to her aid. Aditi recounts that Preeti, without asking any questions, offered her water, warm beverages, and repeatedly checked on her well-being, providing comfort. This service was not ordinary; it was a display of true humanity from a stranger.
A Story of Laughter in Father's Memories
Aditi further explained that Preeti told her, "Whenever I pass by you, tell me something funny about your dad." This simple suggestion became a life-changing moment for Aditi. Slowly, she began weaving her father's memories into laughter and joy, which brought relief to the burden on her heart.
Over time, Aditi started writing down her father's funny memories in a notebook. This notebook has now become a treasure trove of memories for her, which she opens to smile at the recollections of her father. According to Aditi, this is the ‘healing therapy’ that Preeti taught her.
Appreciation for Air India and Preeti

She thanked Air India and especially attendants like Preeti, stating that such people truly make the world a better place. After this video went viral on social media, people wrote in their reactions, "This is the most beautiful Diwali video in the world."
