IndiGo Air Hostess bows down at Ayodhya Airport’s tarmac-Video goes viral
IndiGo Air Hostess bowing down at Ayodhya Airport’s tarmac has sparked controversy as video goes viral.
It quickly drew the attention of Mohandas Pai, former CFO and Board Member at Infosys. Reposting Parmar’s video, he wrote, “Very proud of Akanksha .IndiGo should be proud of such staff who respect India. Jai Shri Ram. Bhagwan Sri Ram is back home in Ayodhya after 500+ years!”
Akanksha Parmar, identified as an air hostess for IndiGo, posted a video of herself bowing and touching the ground after disembarking from a flight in Ayodhya.
In her caption, Parmar expressed a deep sense of pride in her Hindu heritage, and wrote, “Touching down in Ayodhya ignites a deep sense of pride. Proud to be a Hindu. Jai Shri Ram!”
However, not everyone was equally impressed. Another X user, identified as Bangalore Vocal, raised concerns about the authenticity of the video. “Looks like a dramatised & planned video shoot. The camera man was waiting for this act of the air hostess. TV Mohandas Pai should be careful before endorsing such staged video shoots. DGCA India must initiate action for photography violation rules around the aircraft
While some see Parmar’s act as a genuine expression of cultural pride, others view it as a staged performance designed to go viral.
Ayodhya holds significant historical and religious significance for many Hindus, being associated with the deity Lord Ram. For Parmar, this moment might have been a heartfelt tribute to her faith and heritage.
However, it also raises questions on the responsibilities of Mohandas Pai’s endorsement in verifying the authenticity of content before sharing it by some of the X users.
The video of Akanksha Parmar has sparked a multifaceted debate that goes beyond a simple social media post.
One of the X user responded to it as, “Reel … ki duniya.”
Another user added, “Now give her some of your surplus wealth not just your empty words Mohan!”
“Belief and practicing one’s religion is fine but not wearing uniform of the organisation.
Workplace and religion shouldn’t be mixed up,” added another X user.
