Actor Radhika Apte shares airport ordeal, claims passengers were locked on aerobridge for hours
Mumbai, Jan 13: Actor Radhika Apte on Saturday claimed she and other passengers at an airport were locked in the aerobridge for hours after her flight was delayed.
The actor, known for movies "Badlapur", "Andhadhun", "Pad Man" and "Lust Stories", shared her ordeal on Instagram, without naming the city, airport and airline.
"I had to post this! Today morning I had an flight at 8:30. It's 10:50 now and the flight has still not boarded. But the flight said we were boarding and put all the passengers in the aerobridge and LOCKED IT," Apte said.
She also posted a video, in which several passengers were seen behind a locked glass door.
The 38-year-old actor said the passengers, which included children and elderly people, were locked for over an hour and the security declined to open the doors.
"The staff has ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE! Apparently their crew hasn't boarded. The crew had the change and they are still waiting for new crew but they have no idea of when they will arrive so no one knows how long they'll be locked inside.
"I managed to escaped briefly to speak to the very stupid staff woman outside who kept saying there is no issue and no delay. Now I'm locked inside AND they just told us that we will be here till minimum 12pm, all locked in. No water, no loo. Thanks for the fun ride," Apte said.
On the work front, Apte currently features in Sriram Raghavan's "Merry Christmas". The movie, headlined by Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif, was released in theatres on Friday.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
