A video of a heated argument between a YouTuber and a female passenger on an Air India flight to Mumbai is going viral. In the video, the woman is telling the man that if he goes to Mumbai, he will have to speak Marathi. When the man refused, the woman said, ‘Come down to Mumbai and then I will show you what bad manners are.’
This video has spread outrage on social media. The video was uploaded by Mahi Khan, who runs a YouTube channel called Mahinergy, according to his Instagram bio. This incident reportedly happened in Air India flight AI676 from Kolkata to Mumbai.
Threatened for not knowing Marathi
In the video, the woman is seen telling the man to speak Marathi or leave Mumbai. Posting the video, the man said, ‘Today in Air India flight AI676, a woman said this to me, and then threatened me saying I don’t know Marathi. Yes, that is what happened. In 2025 in a country that proudly says “unity in diversity”. The incident reportedly took place on Air India flight AI676 from Kolkata to Mumbai.
In the video, the man said that the woman sat on seat 16A and started shouting that I will have to speak in Marathi because I am going to Mumbai.
When I asked Shanti, “What is this rudeness?” So she said, “Let me show you what rudeness is. I recorded everything because it’s not just about me, it’s about a mentality that is becoming dangerously common. You can’t force a language. You can’t threaten respect.” However, on the viral video, many people also wrote that who knows, this may not be the whole video. No one knows what the whole story is.
In the caption, the person demanded action from Air India and wrote, Dear @airindia, please take strict action against such people, they should be banned. No traveler should feel unsafe or humiliated just because they speak another language. Let’s make sure this isn’t overlooked. In the video, people are asking for clarification from Inner India in the comments and the woman is wearing a shirt of Hyundai company. That’s why people are demanding answers from the company also. However, many people say that what is the fault of Air India and Hyundai in this.
