Hrithik Roshan with sons
New Delhi, June 29, 2016 (Courtesy HT by Subhash K Jha):
On Tuesday night, it could have been a terribly critical situation for Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan and his two sons Hredhaan and Hrehaan who were returning from their vacation at the Serengeti National park in Tanzania via Istanbul. The trio was at the Instanbul airport a little before three suicide bombers attacked, killing 36 and injuring close to 150 people.
When we touched base with Hrithik, he and his sons were safe and sound. Hrithik said, “We missed our connecting flight in Instanbul.We were stuck at the Istanbul Ataturk airport.We were supposed to wait for 18 hours for the next flight out. But we preferred to fly economy class and took an earlier flight out of Istanbul.”
Hrithik and his sons Hrehaan and Hridaan are shaken by how close they were to the crisis that killed many just a few hours later. The 42-year-old actor took to his Twitter handle to share the news and said, “missed connecting flight at Istanbul n wer stuck at airport next flight ws next day,but took economy n flew out earlier. #Prayers4istanbul.”
