I had 4kgs excess luggage once, your card machine wasn’t working & I didn’t have cash...

He said “Jane do sir”

I said “Nahi, aapki airline debt main hai, Main paise de ke jaunga.”

I waited till he could figure how to take my money.

IndiGo suspended Kamra from flying with it for a period of six months while, Air India banned him until further notice. Kamra allegedly heckled Goswami, the editor of Republic TV, on IndiGo’s Mumbai-Lucknow (6E5317) flight on Tuesday. His act, however, gained support from many Twitterati, including Congress MP Shashi Tharoor who, referring to Goswami, said that “it was time someone gave him a taste of his own medicine.” In a video clip posted by Kamra on Twitter, the stand-up comedian can be heard demanding a reply from Goswami, asking him if he is a “coward or a journalist or a nationalist”. However, Goswami did not reply to Kamra. Here is the video
