Actor and Big Boss 17 finalist Mannara Chopra recently found herself at the center of controversy after lashing out at IndiGo Airlines for denying her boarding on a flight to Jaipur. Despite her claims of being on time at Mumbai airport, she was not allowed to board, leading to a heated argument with the airline staff. However, her outburst did not sit well with many netizens, who accused her of throwing a tantrum.
A video of the incident, shared by a Reddit user, captured Mannara arguing with airport staff, insisting that the aircraft was still at the gate. In the footage, she alleged that her name was not announced and accused the staff of displaying an unprofessional attitude toward her. At one point, she was heard exclaiming, “What is this behaviour?”—a phrase that quickly gained traction online.
