Supreet Kaur, an anchor for Indian news network IBC24, went viral over the weekend for the most tragic of reasons.
While listening to a reporter detail a two-vehicle crash in the region that featured two injuries and three fatalities, Kaur realized that her husband of 18 months, Harshad Kawade, was very likely one of the victims.
She knew the car he was driving that day and the area through which he was headed.
Somehow, though, the 28-year old journalist finished with the hour-long broadcast and only broke down after walking out of the TV studio, according to The Hindustan Times.
"She got a sense that it was her husband"s vehicle," a senior editor told the newspaper, adding:
"She read the bulletin and only when she came out of the studio, she started calling her relatives."
The editor added that Kaur’s colleagues had learned during the broadcast that Kaur"s husband as dead "but we did not tell her. We did not have the courage."
Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Raman Singh tweeted about Kaur soon after this report concluded, writing online:
"Salute Supreet"s strength in dealing with her husband"s demise with extraordinary bravery and professionalism. May departed soul rest in peace."
The death of her husband was confirmed shortly after Kaur got up from her desk.
"She is an extremely brave lady," a colleague told the aforementioned publication.
