Actor Vikrant Massey has mourned the ill-fated passing of Clive Kunder, co-pilot of the Air India plane that tragically crashed in Ahmedabad on Thursday afternoon (June 12). Clive’s father, Clifford Kunder, is close to Massey’s family.
On Instagram Stories, Vikrant, known for films like 12th Fail and Sector 36, expressed his grief over the tragedy, writing, “My heart breaks for the families & loved ones of the ones who lost their lives in the unimaginably tragic air crash in Ahmedabad today.”
He mentioned that Clive Kunder, the First Officer operating on the flight, died in the tragedy.
”It pains even more to know that my uncle, Clifford Kunder lost his son, Clive Kunder who was the 1st officer operating on that fateful flight. May God give strength to you and your family uncle and to all deeply affected,” Vikrant wrote, later clarifying that Clive was not his cousin.
“The unfortunately deceased Mr. Clive Kunder was not my cousin. The Kunder’s are our family friends,” Vikrant stated.
A Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft bound from Ahmedabad to London, carrying 242 passengers and crew, crashed shortly after takeoff on Thursday (June 12, 2025) afternoon. The Air India flight was steered by Pilot in Command Sumit Sabharwal, and co-Pilot Clive Kunder. Barring one miracle survivor, no one else could be rescued.
Earlier on Thursday, several members of the Indian film fraternity took to social media to mourn the tragic crash, expressing condolences and prayers for victims and families.
