Watch: ‘Indian Railways feels like IndiGo’: Passenger seen serving tea on board while singing

Social media has been abuzz after a video went viral on Instagram showing two men serving tea in disposable cups as they walked down the aisle of an IndiGo flight. The pair appear to be mimicking the technique usually associated with Indian train service, using a bottle to pour tea, while one of the men looks after a seated female passenger.

Here is the video:

The video quickly gained traction, garnering more than 600,000 views and sparking a wave of comments ranging from humor to criticism. “Soon there will be Mung phali wala chaat masala,” one viewer jokingly suggested, referring to vendors selling snacks on trains.

Conversely, other users expressed concern about the appropriateness of the situation, with one stating, “Flying has become a joke in India… The good days of Jet Airways are gone… There were no Backwas… Totally professional. “

In a similar vein, another user commented, “This is why foreigners talk badly about India. Please act.”

The incident raised questions about the extent to which the airline enforced regulations on board. One commenter pointed out a security discrepancy: “I wonder how they managed to get tea through security? Security does not allow 200% of water; This guy got one liter of tea!”

Amid mixed reactions, another user praised the men’s actions, describing them as “pure Rajasthani hospitality,” noting that one of the men promised them, saying: “I will not ask for money unless you give what you want.” “This is very cool.”

This incident adds to a growing list of controversies surrounding airlines in India and has sparked discussions on social media regarding passenger safety, professionalism and service standards. IndiGo, in particular, has faced scrutiny due to recent incidents involving employee and passenger interactions.

In a related high-profile case, Trisha Shetty, founder of SheSays, accused IndiGo staff of not being helpful after her mother was “robbed” during a flight. According to Shetty’s social media post, the crew placed her mother’s handbag in the overhead compartment while she was sleeping.

One of the passengers allegedly took the bag but returned it after being confronted. Shetty criticized the airline staff for not helping in filing a complaint, saying: “Dear IndiGo, My mother was robbed on flight 6E 17. The cabin crew kept her handbag on top. When she fell asleep, a passenger took her bag. Fortunately she woke up when he was changing Her bag. Your staff refused to help her file a complaint. They made excuses for the thief.
