The travel content creator also recorded herself during the scary moments on the flight. She said, "We flew 13 hours to Kuwait, had a short layover, and then boarded our connecting flight to Mumbai. But mid-air, things took a terrifying turn. Iran bombed Qatar, and we were flying through that very airspace. It was unreal and terrifying."

She further added, “While my family was relieved we were safe on the ground, the thought that we were in the sky when those missiles were being fired… I’m still shaken."

As the airspace shut down, the pilot was forced to return to Kuwait. Many passengers, including Chatterjee and her daughter, were stranded at the Kuwait airport for up to 36 hours.

Chatterjee shared that despite having the experience of visiting more than 99 countries, she called this flight her “worst flight experience ever”.

The video, since then, has gone viral on social media and attracted multiple users who shared their opinions and prayed for the safety of the mother-daughter duo in the comment sections.
