Bengaluru Couple Attend Their Reception Online After IndiGo Cancels Flight Amid Nationwide Meltdown | Watch

A Bengaluru techie couple was forced to attend their own reception virtually in Karnataka’s Hubballi after IndiGo flights were cancelled across India preventing the newlyweds from travelling and attending the ceremony. Medha Kshirsagar and Sangama Das got married in Bhubaneswar on November 23. The reception for the couple was organised at Medha’s hometown Hubballi on Wednesday.

The couple had to travel from Bhubaneswar to Bengaluru and then had planned to go for the reception in Hubballi on December 2. Their flight was first delayed from 9 am on Tuesday until early Wednesday morning. The flight was then cancelled on December 3.

However, keeping the spirit of the festivities, the couple joined the reception through video conferencing from Bhubaneswar. They were fully dressed for the event, not missing out on the celebrations.

Unlucky that their Indigo flight was cancelled. The couple still joined their reception online and made the best of the moment.🥺❤️#Indigo #IndigoDelay#indigochaos #Indigoairlines pic.twitter.com/R3UB2izDFD
