Dense fog across north India is severely impacting daily life as navigating outside homes has become strenuous for people. Due to poor visibility, travel plans have been hit hard as several flights and
trains have been cancelled across the region for safety.
As the chaos ensues, a video has surfaced online that captures a playful moment inside an IndiGo flight. It shows an air hostess candidly talking to passengers in Punjabi. The flight was supposed to land in Amritsar but had to be diverted due to poor weather conditions in the region. It later landed in Delhi.
IndiGo Air Hostess’ Punjabi Banter Wins Hearts
In the video, shared on Instagram, the air hostess is heard saying, “Ye lo yaha kulche khani si, tussi chole bhature ke liye baithe ho? (I wanted to eat kulche, but you are talking about chole bhature?)”
She then adds with a laugh, “Mere ko ghar jana hai (I want to go home).”
A passenger is heard asking if she is from Amritsar, to which she responds affirmatively and even mentions the area she belongs to. Children on board then excitedly reply, “Assi bhi (We are also from there).” The exchange is followed by applause from passengers.
The clip was shared by a vlogger on Instagram, who clarified in the caption that the video was recorded after the flight landed in Delhi following the diversion.
“Fun Time with IndiGo. The IndiGo staff and attendants were extremely kind and cooperative. They calmly handled the situation. This video was recorded at Delhi airport after landing again from Amritsar,” the caption read.
