"Tempers Were Running…": Richa Chadha Narrates Her Airport Ordeal
Richa Chadha also shared that she had been affected by the delayed flights this week.
Indigo airlines has been battling huge outcry and the carrier is being criticised off late for several flight delays. For the unversed, fog in Delhi and congestion at Mumbai airport are among the several factors which are contributing to flight delays across India. In the latest entertainment news, actress Richa Chadha also shared that she has been affected by the delayed flights this week. She stated that two of her IndiGo flights were delayed by 4 hours in the past three days. She also added that a third flight, an international one, took off as scheduled.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Richa Chadha wrote, "On my 3rd flight in 3 days… day 1, IndiGo delayed by over 4 hours. Day 2, IndiGo delayed by 4 hours. But the only direct flights on some routes are often Indigo. Day 3, international flight, no problem."
"On the 14th of Jan, there was an air show in Mumbai, because of which the runway was closed in the morning. And then fog/smog in North India - Delhi runway closed. Ripple effect? Flights delayed all over the country, staff overextended," she added.
For the uninitiated, earlier this week, a flier was arrested for assaulting the aircraft's pilot while he was announcing the delay. Talking about the incident, Richa Chadha has said that she was surprised that only one flier lost his cool, considering the high number of flights being delayed and cancelled.
"I am surprised only one person got physically assaulted because tempers were running very high (I don’t condone violence)," she said.
"Lesson: Monopoly - whether airlines, airport ownership or leadership - creates lack of accountability. Common citizens suffer, with no recourse. Till we don’t recognise it, we will be at a disadvantage while paying through our noses. And if we don’t wake up, we deserve it haina," she added.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Richa Chadha was last seen in ‘Fukrey 3’ and had a brief but intriguing role in Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Charlie Chopra and the Mystery of Solang Valley’.
She is set to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming Netflix original ‘Heeramandi’. The upcoming show will delve into the intricacies of the lives of courtesans in pre-independence India.
Apart from Richa Chadha, it will also feature Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Sheikh.
