Anil Kapoor helps calm a female passenger during a turbulent flight, here’s what happened next! – Times of India

A recent gesture by Anil Kapoor for a fellow passenger on a turbulent flight is winning hearts online. An entrepreneur, who was Anil’s co-passenger on a flight, has shared her heartwarming experience with the actor.
Sharing a selfie with the Bollywood actor, Shikha Mittal wrote, “I would never take a picture with any celebrity. Even this picture is NOT with Anil Kapoor. It’s with a co-passenger. 2+ hours of uninterrupted conversation.” They spoke about anxiety, financial planning, retirement plans, money management and much more.

Sharing details about how she started talking to her ‘genuine co-passenger’, Shika added, “How did we start talking? The moment flight ✈️ took off, the luggage box above me opened and started flapping. The flight got turbulent right at the take-off. I have always been bad on flights. In 2022 I developed added fears due to a health condition. The moment I kept my hand on the divider in the middle of the two seats, my co-passenger held my hand and said “Hey it’s ok. Tell me your name. Let’s talk.” If that moment he didn’t speak, I would have never spoken in the interest of keeping his privacy. But those 2 hours I laughed endlessly and it felt like the flight landed a few seconds post taking off. (Pata bhi nahi chala.) When it landed, Anil Ji said: “a lot of people will tell you anxiety is bad, but today due to your anxiety we both got a chance to talk, and laugh and now maybe you also treat me to a coffee in Delhi”. I smiled, and he hugged me on our way out and said “Shikha The Mittal BYE!”.”
She also shared a second part detailing their conversion over the long flight.
