Richa came to her fellow passengers’ rescue through social media by reaching out to airline authorities and even helped the passengers by giving them basic aid.

Speaking about the experience, Richa said, “ It was a nightmare. I did my best to help out wherever i could. I bought bottles of water for people that didn’t have local currency on my credit card. I wish it was handled better. I felt terrible for senior citizens, people with injuries and mothers travelling with infants. “
