Actor Anil Kapoor had a warm encounter with a co-passenger who recounted his act of kindness on social media. Shikha Mittal shared how the actor helped her through the difficult experience of a turbulent flight and even shared a hug.
Taking to Instagram, Shikha, the founder of Be. Artsy, recounted her special meeting with Anil. She wrote, ‘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 I am going through because of vaccine/covid (cause unknown). 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’.’
Shikha added why Anil said that anxiety is not always bad. ‘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!'’
She also shared a list of topics they talked 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.’
On the work front, Anil Kapoor will next be seen in the web series ‘The Night Manager’.
