He will also soon be reunited with his family in Kerala after 45 years. Thangal cut off communication with family in Kollam district after he narrowly escaped a crash of an Indian Airlines plane in Mumbai on October 12, 1976, which killed 95 people. “Thangal used to organise Indian cultural programmes at Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the 70s. In October 1976, South Indian actress Rani Chandra and others had gone to UAE for one such event. While flying back from Abu Dhabi to Madras, via Bombay, Thangal decided not to go with the troupe, and escaped the crash, while all of the troupe, including Chandra, died,” said the founder of Social and Evangelical Association for Love (SEAL) Ashram, Pastor K M Philip, who gave shelter to the man.
