She further mentioned that she came across a condition of about a 24-hour layover, which has different rules. "But luckily my layover was way under that," she mentioned.
During her stay at the international terminal, she had food and rested. She also praised the airport staff and their hospitality. She further revealed that her experience in general was "great" and she couldn't believe she saw Mumbai despite the fact that it was for a brief moment and from far above.
"All staff in general were great, and I had an amazing time, except when I was called about the suspicious item in my bag," she added.
She mentioned it was a power bank, and she was politely asked to remove.
