Sonakshi Sinha slams airline for 6-hour flight delay, deletes post later: 'National carrier it seems, do better'

Actor Sonakshi Sinha recently voiced her displeasure on social media over a flight delay involving national carrier Air India, though she later deleted the post.

On Tuesday, December 16, the actor posted an Instagram story from the airport, stating that her early morning flight had been repeatedly delayed. She said she had reached the airport at 4 am for a 5 am departure, which was pushed back incrementally until 11 am, without any explanation.




“Absolutely HATE you @airindia. Been at the airport since 4 am to catch a 5 am flight which has been pushed to 11 am hour by hour for NO DAMN REASON. National carrier it seems. Do better,” she wrote, sharing a photo from the airport. The story was removed shortly afterward. Although Sinha did not clarify why she deleted it, screenshots of the post soon began circulating online.

As of the time this report was filed, Air India had not issued any public response to her remarks.

On work front, Sonakshi was last seen in 'Jatadhara'. The actress will not begin work on the next season of 'Dahaad' where she plays a cop. Sonakshi has been getting a lot of love for her OTT projects like Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi' and then 'Dahaad' also.

On personal front, Sonakshi has been in the news lately for pregnancy rumours which she denied with a hilarious post. During a chat with Etimes, Sonakshi had said, "I've gotten married one and a half year back, I'm really enjoying myself. I'm like, literally… and it's a proven study that women put on… couples put on weight in the first year of their marriage and that's when you know it's a happy one."Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
