An emotional moment onboard an Air India flight has touched the internet after a passenger helped a flight attendant celebrate Ganpati Puja at 35,000 feet. Anuradha Soni, a flight attendant, shared a video of the moment on Instagram. She said her flight had been changed, which meant she had to operate another flight and could not attend the Ganpati Puja at home.
A Passenger's Ganesh Idol Made Her Day
Soni said she was feeling sad about missing the puja and thought, "Bappa, iss baar aapki puja miss ho jayegi." But things took an unexpected turn when a passenger brought a Ganesh idol onto the flight, right around the time of the Ganpati Puja.
The video shows Soni welcoming the idol onboard and offering her prayers during the flight. She described the moment as a blessing and said it felt as though Bappa was telling her, "Main tumhare saath hoon, chahe tum kahin bhi ho."
