Ex Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani’s Auspicious Number Turns Fatal for Him? Can Numbers Impact Your Fate

Vijay Rupani, the former chief minister of Gujarat, was honored for his humble attitude and steady rise in politics. He died on June 12, 2025. Rupani was on Air India flight AI-171. He was one of the 241 people who died in India's worst single-plane crash in decades.

The Strangeness of 1206: Lucky Number for One Man

Rupani was born in Yangon on August 2, 1956, and became the 16th chief minister of Gujarat. He was known to have a strong faith in numbers.

Numbers or Chance? A Deeper Dive into Belief and Probability

Many cultures are interested in numerology and its cousin, witchcraft. The main idea is that numbers have secret powers that affect our lives. For some, a number is "lucky" and makes them feel good, while for others, it can affect choices about when to buy something, where to live, or even where to travel.

But doubters point out the "coincidence fallacy": if you have enough people and events, some of them will statistically always seem to be strangely linked. For example, Rupani's birth and death dates happened at the same time.

Why do we believe in numbers so much?

Looking for patterns: People naturally look for links that have meaning, even if they seem random.

Control illusion: Having faith in a "lucky number" can help you feel better when things are unsure.

Can numbers tell you what your fate is?

In the end, numbers don't have magical powers—your choices, your luck, and chance do. But if a number makes you feel good, like by making you more confident in your performance, it can really affect your mind. Just don't let it get in the way of safety and common sense.

In Memoriam, Vijay Rupani's shocking death brought up this strange number-of-death coincidence across the country. It's a stark warning that no matter how much we love numbers, rituals, or symbols, life often goes in directions we can't control.

As families grieve and probes continue, people in Gujarat and India think about this: numbers can motivate us, but they don't rule us.
