Vipul had returned to Britain for work and had been decorating their home in readiness for his wife's arrival.
Excited Khushboo had been driven to the airport at Ahmedabad by her dad, Madan, who runs a sweet shop.
They posed for a selfie outside the terminal which he posted on a family WhatsApp group before waving her off and driving home.
His daughter, an IT worker in Rajasthan, had earlier visited her temple to ask blessings for her journey.
Shortly after the Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner took off, her family learned of the crash.
A family friend said: 'Madan is devastated — the whole family are.
'It never occurred to any of them that this would be their final goodbye.'
Heartbroken Vipul has since flown back to India
