Popular Indian comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi took to social media to express his frustration over widespread flight disruptions in the country, which have now directly impacted his professional schedule. The 34-year-old performer shared his ordeal on Instagram, revealing that a significant delay forced him to reschedule his upcoming show in Mumbai's Bandra area.
Bassi's Social Media Vent About Flight Ordeal
In a story posted on his Instagram, Anubhav Singh Bassi detailed the inconvenience faced by passengers on his delayed flight. He mentioned that the airlines did not allow passengers to disembark despite a four-hour delay. The comedian expressed regret over an earlier post where he had assured fans of arriving on time.
Addressing his audience directly, Bassi stated in Hindi, "Aaj jo bhi log Bandra wale show mein aa rahe hain, main direct show pe hi aa raha hu, to show 7:30 pm type kar rahe hein." This translates to informing attendees that he would be heading straight to the venue, and consequently, the show was being rescheduled for 7:30 p.m.
He assured fans that he was coordinating with the event organizers and requested those who saw his story to inform others around them. Bassi also thoughtfully asked his audience to have their meals in the meantime while waiting for the show to begin.
Ongoing Flight Disruptions Across Indian Skies
Bassi's experience is not an isolated incident but part of a larger pattern of operational challenges faced by Indian airlines. Major metropolitan hubs including Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru have been grappling with frequent flight cancellations and delays.
Industry experts point to a combination of factors causing this chaos, primarily a shortage of cabin crew and pilots, recurring technical snags with aircraft, and last-minute scheduling changes. These issues have created a ripple effect, disrupting travel plans for thousands of passengers daily.
