However, there are some pilots and crew members who try unique ways to break the monotony and keep the passengers a little engaged.

“Angrez aaye the banana hume ghulam, lutne ye desh, sone ki chidiya tha jiska nam. Aur ahankar me kiye inhone Jallianwala Bagh jaise kayi sharamnak kaam, par badle me unke humne aisa bithaya system ki bhaagte dikhe insaan,” Teotia can be heard saying in the announcement.
