Man who lost parents in crash speaks
A video shared by @CNBC TV on YouTube showed Miten displaying the ring and speaking about the emotional importance it held for him.
He disclosed that the ring served as a connection to his parents, Ashok and Shobana Patel, who died in the tragic crash on June 12.
Miten also spoke about the immense difficulty he has faced since the loss of his loved ones, but credited his parents for teaching him how to remain strong emotionally in the face of adversity and pain.
In his words:
"It's been very difficult, very difficult. Never in a million years would we think that we'd be going through this. There's been some miracle from this as well. After discussing with them and having a good meeting, they actually found my father's ring, which he was wearing on the plane. And I have that right now.

"This is the ring that he was wearing and I know that I have a piece of my parents. Most likely, my dad was wearing this on his hand, holding my mom's hand in the positions that they were in the seats. So, I know that they were both connected to this ring, and I have that forever.
"Personally, within myself, how am I dealing with this? My mother and father taught me to be strong when problems happen, to keep as strong as possible and deal with every single situation. They always told me that whatever situation happens in life, good or bad, there's always a solution to that problem.
"So, at the moment, I haven't grieved. I don't intend to until I give them the funeral and cremation that we need to do. And then I will grieve in my own time. But at the moment, I have to keep a very level head and make them proud, which I hope I am doing."

Grief processing or retraumatization? Expert weighs in
Christian Adakole, a clinical psychologist, has weighed in on the emotional impact of public displays of grief following the recent Air India crash that claimed the lives of several passengers, including the parents of a young man who later shared an item recovered from the wreckage.
Speaking with Legit.ng, the expert in view explained that reactions to such events can vary widely based on personal background and support systems:
“Both outcomes are possible, and the direction depends on the individual's psychological history, emotional resilience, and current support systems.
