An Instagram video featuring Captain Pradeep Krishnan, a pilot with Indigo Airlines, is going viral and for all the right reasons! Originally from Tamil Nadu, Captain Krishnan recently made a delightful attempt to deliver an in-flight announcement in Hindi, a language he isn’t fluent in, and people can’t stop cheering him on!
On a flight from Chennai to Mumbai, a friendly passenger asked if the captain could make an announcement in Hindi. Instead of shying away, Captain Pradeep, known for his sense of humour, decided to give it a shot.
In a Reel posted on his Instagram, he can be seen starting off confidently by saying, “Namaskar, mera naam Pradeep Krishnan hai. Mera first officer ka naam Bala hai. Hamara lead ka naam Priyanka hai.”
He went on to share essential flight details, like cruising at an altitude of 35,000 feet and a flight time of 1 hour and 30 minutes. Although he candidly admitted that he wasn’t fluent in Hindi, his sincere attempt won over both the passengers on board and people online.
“A very sweet passenger asked me to make an announcement in Hindi. I genuinely tried,” his caption read.
