Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor received a lot of praise from his fellow traveller for assisting her in staying calm during a turbulent flight. One of Bollywood’s most adored and esteemed performers is Anil Kapoor. Anil, who is sometimes referred to as a “people’s actor,” had a modest start and had to work extremely hard to establish his value in Indian cinema. Anil is recognised for his modest personality more than his professional accomplishments, and a recent instance provides evidence of this.
On a recent trip, the stunning actor got huge applause for his gesture. Entrepreneur Shikha Mittal shared a statement on her LinkedIn about how actor Anil Kapoor supported her during a stressful trip. She wrote of how her fellow passenger, Anil Kapoor, grabbed her hand when she became concerned before takeoff:
“The moment the 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 also shared that she laughed for two hours with Anil Kapoor when they talked about numerous subjects. Shikha recalled how he held her and comforted her during the journey: “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!’”
Shikha Mittal, the founder of Be.artsy and a few other organisations, often avoids taking pictures with celebrities, but she had an incredible experience with Anil. Shikha listed all the subjects they spoke about during their two-hour journey.
“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 SriDevi. 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 professional front, actor Anil Kapoor will be next seen in the film, Animal.
