Shilpa Shetty calls out Australian airline over alleged racist encounter, says 'we are not pushovers'

Actress-entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty Kundr a on Sunday alleged that she faced an unpleasant experience for being “brown” at the Sydney airport over her cabin luggage. Upset by an official who was curt, she says people’s tone must not change with preference to colour. Shilpa, who dealt with racism in 2007 when she was a contestant on the fifth season of the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother – which she went on to win – faced the latest experience while boarding a plane for Melbourne from Sydney. The 43-year-old took to Instagram to share the ordeal with a Qantas Airways lady staff member over a cabin luggage, which was deemed as ‘oversized’ at the check-in counter.

  The Dhadkan actress said her intention to narrate her experience is to make Qantas Airways take cognisance of the matter. “Their staff must be taught to be helpful and tone can’t change with preference to colour. ‘We’ are not pushovers and they must know that being callous and rude will not be tolerated,” she added. Along with the note, Shilpa also posted a picture of her bag and asked her followers “whether it is oversized or not”.
