Actor Arya Babbar, son of actor Raj Babbar, on Sunday posted a video on social media where a pilot of a plane in which he was flying in requested
him to go the cockpit after he made a joke. Arya began the video by greeting
his fans as he moved towards the cockpit and spoke to them.

As he walked outside the cockpit, Arya Babbar asked the
pilot, “Ji sir bataiyye (Yes sir tell me).” The pilot asked him,
“Did you crack a joke on us? No na?” Arya replied, “Joke? I was
cracking a joke with my friend.” The pilot then said that he heard,
“Ye kya chalayega (How will he fly)?” Denying the comment, Arya
replied that he had said, “Bhai ye abhi aaye hai (Did he come now)?”

The quarrel heated up with Arya asking if there was a
problem with the joke and the pilot replying, “Ya, it doesn’t sound good.”
Arya then asked, “Do you want to make your power come across like
this?” The pilot responded, “No, not power.” Arya also asked if
he should get off the flight to which the pilot said no.

The actor then asked
if the pilot has a problem, he should come to Arya’s seat and talk to him and
added, “This is not gonna go down easy. Honestly speaking, this is not
gonna go down easy.”

As the pilot insisted for a handshake, Arya said, “I
don’t wish to handshake with you. You wish to show your power and you want me
to get up from my seat and come over here and talk to you when you have a
problem.”

Arya walked away by saying that he will ‘crack as many
jokes’ as he wants as it was a personal joke with his friend. He captioned the
post, “Sensitive Pilot. @g8.goair @gofirstairways Go Air fines people if
they laugh.”

During an Interview with Times of India, Arya told “That’s
maybe what the pilot heard. But I definitely didn’t say ‘Ye kya chalayega (How
will he fly)?’. I simply turned around to my friend – who’s an actor’s son I
don’t want named – and said, ‘Bhai, yeh bhi yahan hain (He’s also there)?’
which is tantamount to saying ‘Ye bhi hamare saath hi ha aa rahen hai (He’s
also flying with us?)’. We reached the aircraft adjacent to each other which
was a coincidence and don’t you say things like these to your own self when
such coincidences happen? I just happened to say it to my co-traveller. The
pilot misheard it.

Arya went on to saying that, “The air hostess came and
inquired if I was the one who had cracked a joke on the pilot. She said that
the pilot wanted to have a word with me. Initially, I wondered why I should go
and told her if he could come and meet me as I hadn’t cracked any joke. But I
soon realised that she might have to face trouble and I didn’t want to put the
other passengers in any discomfort either. The rest you can see on my Instagram
video.”
