Days after the Ahmedabad plane Crash, Air India staff seen dancing, partying in office; Netizens slam airline - 'Koi marta hai toh...'
Just when we were trying to recover from the deadliest air disaster of the recent past, a video of Air India senior officials is doing the rounds on the internet, making people question humanity and sensitivity. On June 12, 2025, a horrific incident of Air India Flight A171 took place, which not only killed nearly 247 people on board with just one survivor but turned out to be India's deadliest aviation accident in over a decade.
The Dreamliner Boeing 787-8 crashed barely 38 seconds after its takeoff, allegedly because of both engines' failure. Besides the passengers, it also took the lives of several people on the ground as the plane bumped into the building near BJ Medical College.
While the family of the victims and the nation are still mourning the lost lives, footage of AISATS (Air India SATS) went viral, where their executives, including the COO Abraham Zakaria and Air India's CFO, are seen dancing and enjoying the Bollywood songs Ladki Beautiful Kar Gayi Chull. The celebrations were happening in their Gurgaon, Haryana office. View this post on Instagram

As soon as the video went viral on social media, netizens were quick to comment on the poor timing, lack of basic humanity, and insensitivity of the Air India officials. While one user commented, 'Humanity loses, unbelievable,' another said, 'Uska ghar ka koi nahi mara… marta to aisa nahi hota.' ('No one from their family died—if they had, this wouldn't be happening.')
Following this insensitive celebration of Air India officials, AISATS has now issued a public apology. In a statement to IANS, they shared –
'AISATS is aware of a video being circulated on social media that, unfortunately, is completely out of context. Notwithstanding, we sincerely regret any emotional discomfort this may have caused.'
However, despite the apology, the damage has already been done, and people's rage and anger remain.

Released under the banner of Zee Music, the high-energy dance number has quickly gained viral status, amassing over 1 million views on YouTube and inspiring more than 50,000 user-generated reels on Instagram within weeks of its release.

Shot with high production value, the video has been praised for its glossy aesthetics, dynamic choreography, and on-screen chemistry between the leads. Siddiqui's performance, in particular, has drawn attention for her screen presence and dance skills, while Mr. UK's portrayal has added dramatic flair to the visual storytelling.

With prior successes such as So Gaya, Ride It, Scandal, Khushboo, and Bomb Saiyaan, the artist has steadily grown his international fanbase.
