Rashmika Mandanna’s flight has an emergency landing: ‘Escaped death today’

Actor Rashmika Mandanna had an unpleasant flight experience on Saturday when her Air Vistara flight was forced to make an emergency landing due to a technical glitch. Rashmika, along with actor Shraddha Das, was flying from Mumbai to Hyderabad when the incident occurred.

She shared a photo of herself and Shraddha on her Instagram stories with the caption, “Just FYI this is how we escaped death today…"

As per an NDTV report, turbulence and technical issues prompted the flight to return to Mumbai just 30 minutes after take-off. The airlines said that the decision to return back was a precautionary step to ensure the safety of passengers.

"Shortly after take-off, a technical snag was detected on Vistara flight UK531 operating from Mumbai to Hyderabad on 17 February 2024. As a precautionary step, in accordance with the standard operating procedures, the pilots decided to turn-back and landed the flight safely at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International airport, Mumbai," an Air Vistara spokesperson told NDTV.

"An alternate aircraft was arranged, which departed shortly thereafter to complete the journey. All efforts were made to minimise inconvenience to the customers including offering them refreshments," the airlines added.

Rashmika was last seen in the monstrous-hit Animal. She is currently shooting for Pushpa 2: The Rule.
