Amid recent mid-air controversies, a passenger sitting in an IndiGo flight asked the flight attendant to open the plane’s window so he could spit out gutkha (tobacco), a recent video posted on social media has showed.
The video, which was posted on Instagram by user Govind Sharma, has gone viral. In Indore, Sharma politely asks the cabin crew in Hindi, “Excuse me, khidki kholdenge (open the window) please, gutka thukna hai (want to spit out tobacco),” prompting the attendant to burst into laughter.
Even the air hostess apparently could not stop laughing after hearing the passenger’s query. Sharma captioned the video, “Tag your gutka lover friend,” followed by several emojis, implying that it was just for fun and that he was not serious.
However, the viral video was reportedly on 5 january this year. The incident, although done jokingly, however comes amidst a string of complaints about rowdy passengers acting inappropriately while flying.
Meanwhile, this incident follows a recent incident in which Karnataka’s BJP MP Tejasvi Surya claimed that he accidentally opened the emergency exit door of an IndiGo flight. He later apologised for his actions.
