‘People Will Tell You Anxiety Is Bad…’: Anil Kapoor Comforts Co-Passenger On Flight, She Reveals Their Conversation

Shikha Mittal shared how Anil held her hand during turbulence on their flight.

New Delhi: Anil Kapoor recently had a lovely encounter with a fellow traveller, and she has shared extensively about it. Entrepreneur Shikha Mittal posted on Instagram about how Anil held her hand during turbulence on their flight and even posted a selfie with him.

Shikha, the founder of Be.artsy and a few other businesses, wrote that she doesn't typically take pictures with celebrities, but meeting Anil Kapoor was special.

"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," she wrote in her Instagram post.

Shikha said that they chatted and laughed for the entirety of the two-hour flight and that she was unaware of when it came to an end.

"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!”.He was such a genuine co-passenger!" she added.

Additionally, she listed all the other subjects they discussed.

“1. We spoke about anxiety. 2. He asked about my profession and hence we discussed financial planning, retirement plans, money management and writing a will. 3. We discussed movies he plans to do each year. 4. We spoke about Madhuri and Sri Devi. 5. We spoke about Lamhe a not-so-successful movie yet loved by so many. 6. We discussed average and extraordinary people. 7. We discussed luck vs coincidence. 8. We discussed property prices in Mumbai. 9. We talked about fitness. 10. We discussed our common love for coffee," she wrote.

Anil Kapoor will next be seen in the Hindi version of 'The Night Manager' alongside Aditya Roy Kapur. The series will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar. The actor also has the films 'Animal' starring Ranbir Kapoor and 'Fighter' with Hrithik Roshan scheduled.
