‘Even the pilots were tensed’: Salman Khan recalls the incident
During the conversation, Khan recalled how the flight was struck by extreme turbulence, making both passengers and crew anxious. He described the situation as highly unsettling, adding, “I looked at the air hostess, and she was praying. That’s when I thought, ‘Arey baap re!’”
He went on, “Even the pilots looked tense; they usually are very chilled. Then, the oxygen masks dropped, and I thought, ‘I’ve only seen this happen in films!’ After 45 minutes, things settled, and everyone went back to normal, even laughing again.”
Khan also recalled Sonakshi Sinha and her mother, Poonam Sinha, who were on the flight. He shared that the turbulence started again moments later, and everyone immediately stopped laughing.
“From that moment until we landed, nobody said a word. But the moment we touched down, everyone suddenly became a stud. Their walk changed,” he added.
The situation became so intense that even the flight’s pilots, who are usually trained to handle such conditions, appeared visibly distressed. The actor emphasized that it was one of the most frightening experiences of his life.
