The endearing attempt of Captain Pradeep Krishnan to speak Hindi on an IndiGo flight has captured the hearts of passengers and gone viral on social media.
A video featuring an IndiGo flight captain has taken social media by storm, showcasing his charming effort to connect with Hindi-speaking passengers despite the language barrier. Captain Pradeep Krishnan, hailing from Tamil Nadu, won over the hearts of passengers on a Patna-bound flight with his humorous and endearing welcome announcement.
In the video, Captain Krishnan greets passengers in broken Hindi, saying, “Sabka namaskar hai. Mera Hindi sundar hai” (Everyone, namaskar. My Hindi is beautiful). His lighthearted approach continued as he humorously explained the turbulence at 3,000 feet, leaving passengers both amused and entertained.
“Sabka namaskar hai. Mera Hindi sundar hai, sab adjust kar lega. Hum aaj Patna se aage jaata hai. Uppar main, 3,000 feet pe.. turbulence thora, daga daga daga karega. Seat belt daalenge nahi toh adega,” he was heard saying in the video.
Social media users have since showered praise on Captain Krishnan for his humility and sense of humor. Many applauded his effort to make passengers feel comfortable by speaking in Hindi, a language that is not his mother tongue. His courage to communicate in a non-native language resonated with many, while others found his humorous explanation of turbulence particularly entertaining.
One user remarked, “That’s very cute. Full marks for trying to speak in a language which is not your mother tongue.” Another commented, “I really love the scenes of people from different states of India. It’s like adding different kinds of spices or tadka from their different lands. And it all makes the language more spicy and tasty. I love the concept of a common and perfectly scientific language for a diverse country like India.”
A third user added, “I guess, with this Hindi, people are all the more interested in listening to your announcement. It was funny and cute.” A fourth user chimed in, “Captain – Aapki Hindi bohut sundar hai. Important is to get the message across to passengers, which you did with words and actions. I am sure everyone paid attention to your message!”
Captain Pradeep Krishnan’s delightful announcement not only showcased his personality but also highlighted the beauty of linguistic diversity in India. His ability to connect with passengers through humor and warmth has made a lasting impression, proving that sometimes, a little effort goes a long way in bridging communication gaps.
