He continues that the flight from Patna to Chennai may face turbulence while in the air. However, he sweetly makes a sound and shows a hand gesture after failing to find the correct word for turbulence in Hindi. He continues the rest of the announcement with humour.

The video prompted people to post varied reactions, including praising the pilot for trying to speak in a language that's not his native tongue. An individual posted, “That's very cute. Full marks for trying to speak in a language which is not your mother tongue.” Another shared, “Oh, sir, I came a few days before from Patna to Chennai.

A third remarked, “Captain - Aapki Hindi bohut sundar hai. Important is getting the message across to passengers, which you did with words and actions. I am sure everyone paid attention to your message!”
A fourth wrote, “I really love the scenes of people from different states of India. It's like adding different kinds of spices or tadka from their different lands. And it all makes the language more spicy and tasty. I love the concept of a common and perfectly scientific language for a diverse country like India. I myself have done M.A. in Hindi literature, whereas my mother tongue is a different language altogether.”
