Bollywood actors Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan have landed in the middle of an online controversy after an Instagram user shared a video describing an unpleasant experience with the duo during a flight. The actors who were in Jaipur to promote their film Satyaprem Ki Katha were travelling back to Mumbai when the incident allegedly took place. The video was posted by an Instagram user named Kartikey Tiwari who claimed that he was travelling with his mother and brother on the same flight. According to him the family had booked seats in business class. During boarding his mother mistakenly sat on Kiara Advani’s seat unaware that it was reserved for the actor. What exactly happened on the flight? Tiwari said that the confusion was quickly resolved when an air hostess informed his mother about the seating mix-up after which she immediately shifted to her correct seat. However he claimed that Kiara Advani reacted with a visibly “disgusted” expression after realising that a non-celebrity had briefly occupied her seat. The Instagram user further spoke about Kartik Aaryan’s behaviour describing him as “ajeeb sa”. He alleged that Kartik did not interact with the flight staff and was only conversing with Kiara in English throughout the journey. According to Tiwari when the plane landed in Mumbai an air hostess requested a photograph with the actors but they declined citing that they were running late and walked away.
