The unfortunate Air India crash forced filmmaker Shekhar Kapur to reflect on some hard-hitting topics such as mortality and the need to express our affection to our loved ones.
According to him, we are not scared for our own life, but for the lives of those we hold dear.
"We’ve all been on flights .. we’ve all crossed our fingers on take off and on landing .. we’ve all experienced that feeling of uneasiness when we experience turbulence. We all know our thoughts are not for our own potential mortality .. but for our loved ones .. those we leave behind if something happens. I am constantly on a plane. And I have also lived a life of extreme adventure and pitted myself against nature and potentially death .. but always at my own volition." his latest Instagram post said.
