Men block plane aisle with shawls to play cards mid-flight, viral video triggers backlash over air travel etiquette
A viral video showing a group of men playing cards mid-flight has sparked outrage online, with many criticising the passengers for blocking the aisle and ignoring basic in-flight etiquette and safety norms. In the video, the men are seen tying a shawl between four seats to create a makeshift surface. The setup, which turned part of the cabin into an impromptu card table, not only obstructed movement but also raised safety concerns among viewers online. Many questioned how such behaviour was allowed to continue during a commercial flight. The clip was originally posted by entrepreneur Mahaveer Jain on his Instagram handle @mahaveergandhi, with the caption: 'Gambling is not about how well you play the games; it's really about how well you handle your money.' Since being uploaded, the reel has racked up over 7.1 million views and more than 156,000 likes, alongside a flurry of critical comments. A post shared by Mahaveer Jain (@mahaveergandhi) Another user questioned the silence of both crew and fellow passengers: 'The biggest question is, was there nobody on the plane to shame these guys and make them stop? The crew are too polite but what about the other passengers?' A third viewer said, 'Yaar stop this nonsense. Watch movie or go to sleep. And let others sleep.' However, not everyone saw a problem with the airborne card game. One user came to the group's defense and wrote: 'I am not sure why it's shameful behaviour? No one is being hurt or no inconvenience is being created? If you feel uncomfortable in social situations so that you hide your presence by making least movements and getting mix by everyone, people not doing that doesn't make their behaviour shameful and whatever people are telling!! Chillx guys, they are not hurting or disturbing anyone.'

How Siddhant Chaturvedi Made His Father's ‘Unfinished Dream' A Reality
Last Updated: Siddhant Chaturvedi also shared how his father supported him through countless auditions and rejections early in his acting journey. On a day dedicated to fathers, many Bollywood celebrities took a nostalgic journey through their childhoods, sharing heartfelt memories and tributes on social media. Among them was Siddhant Chaturvedi, who penned a touching note for his father on June 15. The actor shared a series of pictures on Instagram, including an adorable throwback photo from his childhood that shows just how cute he's always been. He also included a recent picture of himself and his dad, smiling and enjoying a quiet moment together over a cup of coffee. Sharing the photos, he penned, 'The most beautiful thing in the world is watching your parents grow old in front of you… But somehow, you never age for them, you're always a kid." He then shared his father's love for cinema, writing, 'My father invested in my dream—an unfinished dream of his. From Ballia to this city of rising skyscrapers and failing dreams, he held on to me. Every movie he ever watched—stealing from his own school fee (Rs 1), sometimes through a peephole in a worn-out cinema hall in Ballia… Taking turns with friends queued up, finishing a film over 10 days… All that love for cinema, stored in a Gullak of dreams. All for me." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Siddhant Chaturvedi (@siddhantchaturvedi) The actor also revealed how his father stood beside him while he was diving deep into the world of auditions and rejections. He wrote, 'He made sure I completed my education (& even more CA)—a contingency plan for if the Bollywood dreams break. Securing me first… and then letting me cut the harness, fearlessly diving deep into the world of auditions and rejections. I couldn't have done it alone." 'Every movie I do is for that little kid—my dad—watching from a peephole outside a cinema hall. And I still have to do more. Much more. Love you, Papa. P.S. — It's awkward to say all of this to you in person. You know how father-son dynamics are… We don't say 'I love you" easily. It's awkward. But here it is," he concluded. On the work front, Siddhant Chaturvedi is set to appear next in the romantic comedy Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling, alongside Wamiqa Gabbi and Jaya Bachchan. Additionally, he is reportedly reuniting with his Phone Bhoot co-star Ishaan Khatter and actress Pooja Hegde for an upcoming project. First Published:
