After a Vistara flight was cancelled on Friday, actress Dia Mirza was among several passengers who complained to the airline about the lack of assistance. Dia took to Twitter early Saturday morning to vent her frustrations, revealing that she and the other passengers had been missing their luggage for some time.
Dia said in a 3 a.m. tweet that Vistara flight UK940 from Mumbai to Delhi had been diverted to Jaipur and that passengers had been asked to wait. The actress claimed that she and other passengers waited three hours inside the plane before being told to disembark. “NO ONE from the airport authority or Vistara has offered any assistance or answers,” she continued. @airvistara @AAI Official, where are our bags?”
Meanwhile, at 10:37 p.m. on Friday, Vistara tweeted that the flight had been diverted to Jaipur due to bad weather in Delhi. Several passengers made similar complaints in the comments section, claiming that they were not given any assistance after the flight was cancelled after a long wait.
“Flight landed at Jaipur around 23:00 hrs and we were stuck in the plane until 2:15 a.m.,” one wrote. Later, we were informed that the flight had been cancelled and that passengers should make their own travel arrangements to Delhi. @JM Scindia @airvistara “We require assistance.” Vistara responded to the tweet by saying that all passengers have been accommodated. “OMG!” exclaimed another passenger. After deplaning, getting our bags took more than an hour. @airvistara. WHY did you subject us to this ordeal?” Another passenger on board requested food and water.
Dia was recently in Greater Noida filming for Dhak Dhak, and she was accompanied by her one-year-old son Avyaan Azaad Rekhi. Dhak Dhak is directed by Tarun Dudeja and co-produced by actor Taapsee Pannu. It also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ratna Pathak Shah, and Sanjana Sanghi. It will be released in 2023 and tells the story of four women and their life-changing struggle at the world’s highest motorable pass.
