Anju’s husband also died in a crash involving a smaller plane, 17 years ago. In 2006, Dipak Pokhrel died when the small passenger jet he happened to be flying went down in a span of several minutes. And that was right before it landed.

To help carry on her dream of following in her husband’s footsteps of being a pilot, she had to arrange a sum of money to fulfill the course of her flying lessons. Hence for that, she made use of insurance funds outlined for her, after her husband’s tragic death.
