Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Allu Arjun, others 'heartbroken' over Air India plane crash

A London-bound Air India flight- AI 171- carrying 242 passengers and crew members crashed near the Ahmedabad airport within seconds after take-off in the largest city of Gujarat.

One but all people who were onboard died in the crash, which is one of the worst such incidents to have taken place in the South Asian country.

In the horrific videos that have surfaced, a thick smoke is seen rising from the areas close to the airport.
