Pakistani actress Nazish Jahangir has revealed that she was supposed to be on the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight that crashed in Karachi almost five years ago, but she missed the flight for various reasons.
In a recent podcast, Nazish shared that she was scheduled to fly from Lahore to Karachi on the same flight that tragically crashed in Karachi’s Model Colony area in May 2020. The crash, which claimed the lives of nearly 100 people, occurred during the plane’s landing. Nazish mentioned that due to unforeseen circumstances, she missed the flight, and her name was on the passenger list.
The actress also spoke about her travel experiences, sharing that her first air travel was to Saudi Arabia with her parents, and she later traveled to the Maldives with her friends on her own expense. When she first arrived in Karachi from Islamabad, she didn’t like the city, but now she has grown fond of it.
Nazish admitted that she has often missed flights for various reasons, despite her best efforts to avoid it. She recalled an incident where she missed six flights in one day from Islamabad to Karachi, even after trying to reach the airport on time.
Reflecting on the tragic PIA flight crash, Nazish shared that after hearing the news, she felt immense gratitude for not being on board. She explained that the flight had been her intended travel, and she had a quarantine period of 60 days before she could fly to Karachi, but due to missing the flight, she was not on it when the disaster struck.
In May 2020, the PIA flight crashed while attempting to land in Karachi, killing nearly 100 people onboard. The plane crashed into a residential area, causing damage to homes and resulting in additional casualties.
