Actress Minissha Lamba‘s post is raising eyebrows after fans began speculating that it may have been a dig at fellow actress Radhika Apte.
Apte, in a viral post on her social media handle, shared her experience at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport when she allegedly got locked inside the aerobridge of an IndiGo flight to Bhubaneswar.
Soon after her post went viral, Minissha also penned a long note while explaining the situation at the airport, and revealed, “I was locked up too.” While painting an entirely different picture from the one shared by Apte, Lamba wrote, “Every bad consumer experience doesn’t have to have a knee-jerk extreme reaction the way today’s Indigo flight received. I was on the flight. I was locked up too on the aerobridge for 45 mins. It wasn’t intentional from the airline’s end. Nor from the airport security.”
She went on to explain, “It was an evolving situation for which there has been no precedent set. Ground Airline staffers were being verbally abused for a situation they had nothing to do with.”
In what is perceived to be a swipe at Apte, she questioned, “And honestly, how bad was the experience really, if one is goofing about, chilling on the floor, taking pictures as if on a picnic?”
Radhika made headlines this week when she shared a video and photos of herself sitting on the floor with other passengers as they waited for their aeroplane gate to open. “I had to post this! Today morning I had a flight at 8:30. It’s 10:50 now and the flight has still not boarded. BUT the flight said we were boarding and put all the passengers in the aerobridge and LOCKED IT,” she said.
She further added, “The passengers with small babies, elderly people have been locked in for over an hour. The security won’t open the doors. The staff has ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE! Apparently, their crew hasn’t boarded. The crew had the change and they are still waiting for the new crew but they have no idea of when they will arrive so no one knows how long they’ll be locked inside.”
The situation gained attention online with many slamming the airlines for their poor service.
