Nayan told the BBC “it feels great seeing him [Vishwashkumar] doing well” but he was worried about his other brother Ajay, who was also onboard.
“We were all in shock as soon as we heard what happened, just utter shock. Speechless,” he said.
“He [Vishwashkumar] himself has no idea how he survived, how he got out the plane.
“When he called us he was just more worried about my other brother, like ‘Find Ajay, find Ajay.’ That’s all he cares about at the moment.”
A relative called Jay told the PA news agency: “He’s got some injuries on his face. He was painted in blood. He’s doing well I think. It’s a big shock.”
Video shared on social media showed Mr Ramesh walking towards an ambulance, with smoke billowing in the background.
He was later seen in a hospital bed meeting Indian interior minister Amit Shah.
Dr Dhaval Gameti, who treated Mr Ramesh, said: “He was disorientated, with multiple injuries all over his body. But he seems to be out of danger.”
Indian media said he shared his boarding pass, which showed his name and seat number.
The businessman, who was born in India and has lived in the UK since 2003, has a wife and four-year-old son.
