In the video, Anupam said that he usually doesn’t complain.

His movie Tanvi the Great is the opening film at the event. However, the flight has been cancelled.
Anupam shares his next plan of travel
He said, “I don’t complain because I don’t think any person or organisation would do this intentionally. So I want to express my frustration.” He added that no other flight was available and his film’s screening is scheduled for Tuesday. “Toh main kya karun (So, what do I do),” asked Anupam.
The actor added that he would visit an eatery, feast on a scrumptious meal, which would make him feel better. He added that when a person has a problem, they should seek an alternative solution. Saying that he would take a tour of Varanasi, Anupam further added, “Phir train se jayenge, train jaati hai, by road bhi jasakte hai. Filial toh khana khana chahta soon (We will go by train, could go by road too. For now, I want to have my meal).”

Anupam shared how people at the airport were worried over cancellation their flight. He said, “When you are in a situation where nothing is on your hand, then enjoy the situation…I will eat, and I will feel better. I will somehow or other reach tomorrow for the opening of the Khajuraho International Film Festival because our film Tanvi the Great is playing there.”
He captioned the post, “Flight cancelled! My Grandfather used to say, ‘Don’t go through a problem twice! Once by thinking about it, and once by going through it!’ Came to #Varanasi by @IndiGo6E! Was to take a connecting flight to #Khajuraho which got cancelled! Frustrating!”
He added, “But decided to make the best of it! So will have some nice kachori/chaat/gulab jamun. And also will pray at #Vishwanath ji temple! Har Har Mahadev! #KhajurahoInternationalFilmFestival #Opportunity #TanviTheGreat.”
What Indigo told Anupam about flight cancellation
Reacting to the post, the official X account of Indigo replied, “Dear Anupam Sir, we truly regret that your onward journey did not go as planned today. The severe fog and weather disruptions in the morning today across Varanasi and some other airports in Northern India had an impact on multiple flights across the network, which unfortunately led to the cancellation of your Varanasi–Khajuraho sector.”
“In order to keep you informed, we had shared timely communication, earlier in the day, on your coordinates registered with us during booking. However, we are deeply touched by your empathetic perspective and calmness of spirit, which truly reflect your positive outlook towards life. Respect! We wish you and your team all the very best for the film festival. May your film receive all the love, appreciation, and wide viewership it truly deserves. We look forward to welcoming you on board again soon and serving you better in the future. ~Team IndiGo,” concluded his note.
