Apte expressed frustration at the lack of communication and revealed that passengers were told they would be stuck until at least noon. She criticized the airline for the inconvenience, citing the absence of water and restroom facilities for locked-in passengers. The actor claimed the airline staff attributed the delay to a crew change, and the new crew had not yet arrived.
Despite the ordeal, Radhika Apte managed to briefly escape and speak to staff outside, who insisted there was no issue or delay. The incident highlights the challenges and frustrations faced by air travelers when flights experience delays and communication breakdowns with airline staff.
