A recent incident on an Air India flight from Kolkata to Mumbai has sparked outrage on social media after a woman allegedly threatened a fellow passenger for not speaking Marathi. The passenger, identified as Mahi Khan, a YouTuber with the handle @mahinergy, shared a video of the confrontation on Instagram.

The clip was captioned "Yes, this happened. In 2025. In a country that proudly says Unity in Diversity.”

The video shows the woman, who was wearing a Hyundai shirt and reportedly works for the company, insisting that Khan speak Marathi because he's travelling to Mumbai.

The video begins with the passenger asking her, "You are telling me that I need to speak in Marathi?, on which the woman replied in frustration, "Yes, please do that. You are going to Mumbai, you should know Marathi."
