Just a week ago, Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu took to Twitter and lashed out at Air India for giving her a forgetful travel experience. And now, one of the most successful singers in the industry, Shreya Ghoshal, has joined the list of people slamming airlines.
On 15th May, Shreya, who is the winner of seven Filmfare awards, took to the micro-blogging site to call out the Singapore Airlines. In her post, she mentioned that the airline did not allow her to take a musical instrument she was carrying, to the flight.
I guess @SingaporeAir does not want musicians or any body who has a precious instrument to fly with on this airline. Well. Thank you. Lesson learnt.

Shreya seemed to be highly disappointed with the episode and took it as a lesson. However, the 35-year-old received immense support from her fans who did not expect such behavior from Singapore Airlines.
Well, I didn't expect this from Singapore Airlines though. It is one of the best airlines. But yes Shreya doesn't tweet up things unless they are bad/worse.

It's unfortunate. @airvistara your parent organisation is also doing unjust with our celebrities.

This happened to me too! They made me check-in my guitar in a soft case and withheld my boarding pass until I did so. It was like giving away a piece of my heart. Extremely stressful. And their staff was extremely mechanical in dealing with it. Unreal!

I guess this might be the problem with the airline. Someday they would also not allow musicians to fly in their airlines as well

Utterly disappointing @SingaporeAir do the needful soonest.

Singapore Airlines was quick to reply with a tweet expressing their concern over the matter. They asked the singer to report what she was advised to do at last by the staff.
Hi Shreya, we are sorry to hear this. May we seek more details of your concerns and what was last advised by our colleagues? Thank you.

While we don’t know what exactly happened and what instrument she was carrying, we can bet that the Airline just lost a bunch of followers!
