A passenger asked Captain Pradeep Krishnan, an IndiGo pilot from Tamil Nadu, to deliver the announcement in Hindi when he was flying from Chennai to Mumbai.

Krishnan accepted the challenge and gave it his all, making the announcement charming and impactful.

Hum aaj Chennai se Mumbai jaayenge, 35,000 mein udayenge, pura distance 1,500 kms hai, pura time one hour ek ghante thirty minutes hai, jaane ke time turbulence hoga, hum seat belt daalenge, main bhi daalenge.
