Sharing her 'anguish' and 'anger' over the alleged snub on social media, the former Bigg Boss contestant claimed that she had been offloaded by the airline for being a 'Hindu'.

Payal and her boyfriend, wrestler Sangram Singh, were supposed to take a 6:50 am flight to Kerala, but reportedly reached the airport at 6:20.

Payal revealed in a Facebook live post that they were subsequently offloaded from the flight and suggested that the staffers who were Muslims targetted them for thir religion.

She took to Twitter and Instagram to express her anger and called herself a warrior and felt her celebrity status was also to blame.

But people on the social media paltforms were not having any of it and blasted her for giving the entire incident a communal hue. They castigated her and suggested that next time she should 'reach the airport on time'.

HERE'S HER RANT

SHE THEN DECIDED TO FLY WITH AIR INDIA

SHE ALSO TWEETED:

Am I being subjected to this treatment because I am a Hindu, Nadeem/Abdul Muslim. We reached the gate 6.20 am @jetairways @Sangram_Sanjeet

AND SHE CONTINUED ON INSTAGRAM

 

l have been fighting since I was a child, I am not a Survivor but a warrior......Let's make the day count... #jetairways an airline with rude and rowdy staff that bully passengers. I would call it an airline without a heart. Being a celeb U are not used to such behavior but U realise that life is full of shit people. U can't start throwing stone at every barking dog. ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0098u00c2u0082ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0098u00c2u0082ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0098u00c2u0082ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0098u00c2u0082 #wednesdaywisdom
