On Thursday, the Mulk actor took to Twitter and wrote, “Racist. Don’t fly British Airways. We cannot be kicked around. Sad to hear about the Berlin child incident. I stopped flying British Airways after the cabin crew were rude and had the attitude not once but twice even after being a first class passenger. Fly Jet Airways or Emirates. There is dignity.”

On 23 July, a Joint Secretary level officer in the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways was travelling from London to Berlin with his family on a British Airways flight when they were asked to deboard the flight allegedly because his three-year-old son was crying onboard. The passenger, AP Pathak, complained that he and his family were discriminated against.
