Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu’s step-brother Naresh shared a video on his X account and wrote, “The fun of flying ended in the 90s. Reached in time at the HYD IndiGo terminal at 8:15 AM. All IndiGo flights are delayed. Packed food by then to eat in the flight. Shopping & rush back to see a full-scale battle between the ground crew and passengers. Filth.”

He added, “To make matters worse, humans have developed scanners. They are able to identify actors with sunglasses and masks. No privacy guarantee of time. I wish I had a time machine to go back to 90s. Safe Indian Airlines (then) & worse. Flights have become cesspools for bacteria) masks must.”
