Lauren was in a foul mood after her plans were disrupted. “All the flights to Dubai, where I am going- cancelled! Everything cancelled. There are hundreds of people in there. It looks like some disaster has happened and I feel trauma right now. Do not fly IndiGo, especially now, maybe not ever. But especially now. Just don’t do it!” she added.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Jay Bhanushali shared a couple of Stories to express his frustration. The actor revealed that he had to take a short road trip to cover the distance and take a late night flight back to Mumbai from Pantnagar. In another Instagram Story, he wrote, “After so many hours of travel I deserve to be welcomed with this song.. Thank you Indigo for the unplanned extended trip.”
