Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 8 (ANI): Star couple Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar on Tuesday boarded an Air India flight to reach Wimbledon and expressed full faith in the 'national carrier with the best inflight service in the world'.
Taking to X, Shabana shared a picture with Javed from the flight, reiterating 'faith' in the airline service.
'Off to #London for [?]@Wimbledon[?] on [?]@airindia. Reiterating faith in our National carrier with the best inflight service in the world ! [?]@Javedakhtarjadu @mantagoyal,' she captioned the post.
Last week, Raashii Khanna took to her Instagram account to share how she has been battling travel anxiety following the Air India crash in Ahmedabad last month.
The actress posted a couple of pictures from the airport along with a note expressing how recent headlines have worsened her fear of flying. She spoke about how travel, which once felt like an 'escape,' now feels stressful and 'heavy.'
'There's so much unrest in the world... Every flight feels heavier now--not just because of the skies, but because of the headlines we carry with us. Travel used to be an escape. Lately, it feels like holding your breath. Anyone else feeling this travel anxiety too?' read her post.
The crash occurred on June 12, when a London-bound Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed into a hostel complex of BJ Medical College in the Meghani Nagar area of Gujarat's Ahmedabad shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
The tragedy claimed 241 lives out of the 242 onboard, including former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani. (ANI)

Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry shares news of engagement to Laura Quinton
In an offseason beauty, an adorable surprise, Winnipeg Jets captain Adam Lowry offered a proposal to his longtime girlfriend, Laura Quinton. Hor and Laf have been companions for the past six years. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Meanwhile, Lowry took this crucial step in their relationship; we may call it the real test in his busy career in Winnipeg. Lowry shared the news on Instagram, giving viewers a rare insight into his life beyond the ice, along with a moment of genuine connection. Adam Lowry's proposal to Laura Quinton reflects years of quiet commitment Over the years, the relationship between Adam Lowry and Laura Quinton has enjoyed some degree of privacy. After meeting in Winnipeg, where Quinton grew up, the two quietly laid down a strong foundation. Their relationship grew stronger, even though Lowry had an intense schedule being in the NHL for 11 years with the Jets. Lowry selected the offseason to get down on one knee at last. Few details were revealed by the couple about their special moment together, but from that personal Instagram post came hints of a very strong relationship they shared out of the public eye. Laura Quinton and Adam Lowry are managing life from the provinces Originally from St. Louis, Lowry was raised in Calgary and typically would spend his offseasons there. Quinton, in contrast, is very much rooted in the capital of Manitoba, where she continues working as a tech professional. Though living apart at times in Canada, the two found a workable balance between professional and personal life. Their union reflects a bumper-to-bumper amalgamation of Western and Central Canadian life—the tranquility of Calgary and the charm provided by Winnipeg. Time will tell where the nuptials will be held—both, however, are near and dear to their hearts. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Proposal timing fits into Adam Lowry's recovery period The choice to go forward with the proposal comes while Lowry finds himself enduring an extended recovery period. The Jets forward had been operated on for his hip back at the end of May, catching a bunch of days lost until the very beginning of the 2025–26 NHL season. Considering this five-to-six-month recovery period, the downtime might have been the pause that allowed him to focus on these personal milestones. Also Read: Adam Lowry's proposal to Laura Quinton is a tender reminder that life aside from the rink can be all that matters. Fans are probably behind the pair as they prepare to embark on this new phase of love and life.
