Manjeet's son, Air India pilot Captain A S Kohli, averted a major disaster at Mumbai airport yesterday. Incidentally, Kohli's late father was a deputy manager at Indian Airlines. "Had he been alive, he too would have been proud. Our son is hero," addedu00a0 Manjeet.
"My husband is a pious man and everyone says his faith kept him safe. And my children have been jumping around celebrating their father's 'hero' status," added Apneet.
But Kohli prefers to remain modest. "I just did my job. I don't think it's an act of heroism as everyone is making it out to be." Had it not been for his presence of mind, hundreds would have lost their lives.
