Previous celeb complaints about Air India

This isn't the first time that a celebrity has complained about Air India. Recently, musician Anoushka Shankar publicly slammed Air India after her sitar was damaged during her recent travel, despite the airline charging her a handling fee. She posted the video with a caption that read, “Devastated and truly disturbed by @airindia’s treatment of my sitar. How on earth does damage like this happen without willful disregard? It feels especially sad given that I’ve flown Air India after a long time, and it seems an Indian instrument can’t be safe with them- after all the thousand of flights taken on other airlines without even a peg going out of tune.”

Recently, actor Raveena Tandon criticised Air India over how it handles its passengers travelling with pets. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Raveena shared an article which reported how private airline Akasa Air will allow passengers to fly with two pets in the cabin. Sharing the article, she said, "Take a cue @airindia. Sometimes, you all put pet parents through a lot of inconvenience. Our babies are better behaved than most of some human passengers you get on board."
