An Indian TV news presenter learned of her husband's tragic death in a car crash as she delivered a breaking news report on live TV for India's IBC24.

Supreet Kaur, 28, kept her composure as a reporter gave details about the crash and the victims.

Although he didn't identify the victims by name the reporter gave enough information for the presenter to understand that one of the victims was her husband Harsad Kawade.

Her husband was travelling in the same type of car on the same road at the same time with four friends.

After the report finished she kept on reading other headlines for around ten minutes.

She broke down in tears after the Saturday morning broadcast came to an end, the Hindustan Times reported.

A senior editor said staff learned that her husband was dead while she was reading the news.

The editor said: "But we did not tell her. We did not have the courage."

The editor added: “She got a sense that it was her husband’s vehicle. She read the bulletin and only when she came out of the studio, she started calling her relatives."
