A passenger got in a heated row with a pilot after he was overheard joking about his flying skills, and uploaded the video on his Instagram.
Arya Babbar, from Mumbai, India, was onboard a flight with a friend last week when an air hostess summoned him to the front of the plane.
Footage shows Arya, who is the son of Bollywood star Raj Babbar, making his way to the front of the plane when he is confronted by the scorned pilot and asked if he had made a joke.
After initially denying it, the passenger admits to have cracked a joke to his friend, to which the pilot says “How will he fly?”.
“It doesn’t sound good”, the pilot continues.
The pair exchange furious words before Arya asks if he should leave the plane.
After saying no, the forgiving pilot extends his arm to offer the passenger a handshake but it stirs up tension even more.
Speaking to the camera, Arya said: “I don’t wish to handshake with you.
“You wish to show your power and you want me to get up from my seat and come over here and talk to you when you have a problem.
“The air hostess came and inquired if I was the one who had cracked a joke on the pilot.
“She said that the pilot wanted to have a word with me.
“Initially, I wondered why I should go and told her if he could come and meet me as I hadn’t cracked any joke.
“But I soon realised that she might have to face trouble and I didn’t want to put the other passengers in any discomfort either.
“The rest you can see on my Instagram video.”
The video has racked up over 22,000 views on the passenger’s Instagram, with social media users divided on who was in the right.
One social media user said: “The pilot was more mature than you.”
Standing up for the pilot, a second person added: “But still never upset pilot specially when you are on flight.”
“Egos being hurt both ways”, said a third.
A fourth Instagram follower added: “These kind of pilots should be fired!
“His job is to fly the passengers safely and not evade personal space of people by listening to them on the smallest of comments!”
“This Pilot just wanted to show off in front of the airhostesses…seems to be high on his Ego….!!! [sic]”, added a fifth.
It is not known if any arrests were made or if the plane took off.
Jam Press has contacted Go Airline for commented.
