She took to Instagram and shared her experience on April 1. In the video, Kothari was seen sitting on an unnamed flight, while a passenger behind her kept putting his hand on her seat. After she informed the cabin crew about the same, they had a word with the passenger. However, the passenger later put his foot on her seat from behind.
