After this harrowing experience, the actress broke down in tears and shared her ordeal on Instagram through a video. The 17-year-old National Award winner wrote, "So, I was in a flight traveling from Delhi to Mumbai today and right behind me one middle-aged man who made my two-hour journey miserable. I tried to record it on phone to understand it better because the cabin lights were dimmed, I failed to get it". "Managed to get this," actress posted with a snapshot of the man's foot which was rested on her arm rest. She further added: "The lights were dimmed, so it was even worse. It continued for another 5-10 minutes and then I was sure of it. He kept nudging my shoulder and continued to move his foot up and down my back and neck. "It was all chill till I felt somebody brushing against my back while I was half asleep. I ignored it the first time. Blamed the turbulence for it. Until I woke me up to this pleasant sight of his beautiful foot rubbing my back and neck". "Guess he couldn't sit like a civilised human being and placed his foot on my armrest while he's fully 'phelaoed' (spread) his body on his seat." She ended her post with the caption: "Slow claps for Vistara's wonderful crew guys."

"I just landed, the whole irony of this that I yelled...and this is not done...this is not how you should be treated or made to feela this is terrible. This is how they will take care of girls?
