From a town in Gujarat, Khushi Shah had made it big as a fashion designer in Mumbai. While on a vacation in Istanbul, she could not have anticipated that she would never be returning her creations to the ramp.

Her relatives expressed their shock and grief over the incident, as Financial Express reported.
