Overview

• Apoorva Mukhija requested an exit-row seat and was told those positions are exclusively for passengers classified as disabled.
• The check-in agent told Mukhija she appeared “sick” and therefore did not qualify for the emergency exit seat.
• Mukhija shared screenshots of her Instagram Stories showing the exchange to highlight the airline’s policy application.
• A photo posted by friend Anmol Dua later showed Mukhija seated next to the emergency exit under the caption “Catching flights and flu.”
• Known as the Rebel Kid, Mukhija has faced earlier controversy on India’s Got Latent and now stars on Prime Video’s reality series The Traitors.
