The stir began when Suchitra raised questions about Vishwas's survival account, echoing a social media rumour that claimed he had faked his story. She put out a post on X, formerly called Twitter, calling him a liar. However, after being called out for sharing fake information, she deleted the post and issued an apology.
In the now-deleted post, Suchitra wrote, 'So this #vishwaskumarramesh lied about being a passenger on the plane & the only survivor? This is seriously weird. Didn't his family in the UK corroborate his story? What about his brother's funeral that he was seen giving kandha to? Deserve not only some serious punishment but some mental asylum time if this is true uff".
The Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa actor faced backlash for spreading unsubstantiated claims, as social media users highlighted that Vishwas' survival account had been verified by the hospital in Ahmedabad.
Within hours, Suchitra deleted the tweet and issued a public apology. In her new tweet, she wrote, 'Took out my last tweet on the air india crash survivor. Seems to be false news circulated for God knows what reason. My apologies'.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh is the lone survivor of the deadly Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, which killed at least 260 people. The 40-year-old is a British national.
Vishwash was in the '11A' seat of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner near an emergency exit and managed to jump out of the flight and miraculously survived the fatal mishap, in which all the other passengers and crew members lost their lives. He received medical treatment at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital.
A week after the Air India plane crash in Gujarat's Ahmedabad, that killed 260 people, Vishwas was discharged from the city's Civil Hospital. Shortly after his discharge, the body of his brother Ajay, who was travelling with him to London, was handed over to the family for his last rites, which were held earlier this week.
Both Vishwas and his brother are natives of Diu and had flown down to India to spend time with their family in the union territory. Vishwas's family arrived from the UK following the news of the plane crash.

The film has adopted new strategies for its theatrical release. As we wait to see what works for the film, audiences have begun pouring their reviews on social media after watching Sitaare Zameen Par. Sitaare Zameen Par is directed by RS Prasanna. It is backed by Aamir Khan under his banner. The film marks his return to film after his last release Laal Singh Chaddha. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, a user called it a 'well-intentioned film.' The person wrote, '#SitaareZameenPar is a sweet, uplifting and well-intentioned film, with tears and chuckles galore. It makes for incredible family viewing and leaves you with a warm, fuzzy feeling at the end.' Giving it 3 stars, another user added, 'What a beautiful movie! Sitaare Zameen Par shines with heartfelt storytelling and stellar acting. The performances, especially by the child actors, are deeply moving and genuine. Some missing in emotions but recommend.' But is it better than Taare Zameen Par? Another user shared, 'A feel good heart wrenching melodrama that works well in second half #AamirKhan𓃵 and #GeneliaDeshmukh are true to their roles. For me Sitaare Zameen Par > Taare Zameen Par (sic).' Meanwhile, the film is set to premiere with more than ₹ 6 crore business on day 1, as per its advance booking report of Sacnilk. The film had no shows before 9 am, unlike traditional norms. It is being screened in over 9,000 shows across India. Talking about the film's expected business at the ticket window, previously the Mumbai-based exhibitor and distributor Rajesh Thadani said that word-of-mouth will determine good box office results for Aamir's film over the weekend. 'Since it's Aamir Khan and the subject is different, there are hopes that it will do well. I've great hope for the film, it should do anywhere between Rs. 10 to 15 crore. If the word-of-mouth is good, then box office collection should improve, and it should touch Rs. 50 crores in three days. The film is emotional and it will cater to family audiences, children and specially-abled children,' Thadani told PTI. Sitaare Zameen Par also stars Genelia D'Souza, along with ten neurodivergent actors.
