Viral: Couple Shares Scary Experience With Dry Shampoo At Airport, Amuses Internet
The thrill of takeoff, the hum of the engines, and the promise of adventure – air travel is a marvel of modern life. But for one couple, their journey took an unexpected turn when a seemingly innocuous item in their luggage sparked a security scare. In a video going viral on Instagram, a couple named Anusha and Aman shared their experience of being pulled aside for extra security screening due to suspicion of an illegal item in their bag.
Recounting the incident, Anusha explained that Aman received an unexpected WhatsApp call minutes before they were to board their IndiGo flight. Upon answering, he was instructed to report to Gate No. 3, as security had discovered a suspicious item in their luggage.
"We went to gate no 3, where she (staff member) said, 'Come with me,' and took us to a shady IT room," said Anusha.
She added, "We entered the room and it was my bag on the table, not Aman's. I was 100 per cent sure we were called here because of my dry shampoo and it turned out to be true."
The couple admitted to being scared at the moment but were let go with a warning.
The side note read, 'This was lowkey scary but can the girls please tell Aman that dry shampoo is normal??"

Small IndiGo flights to now depart from Chennai airport's Terminal 4
If one is to fly by IndiGo to places such as Salem and Vijayawada from Chennai on Sunday, they will have to depart from Domestic Terminal 4 (T4). But when their flight from these cities lands in Chennai, they will disembark at Domestic Terminal 1 (T1). According to the Airports Authority of India (AAI), for nearly two months from June 1, the departure operations of ATR flights (small aircraft with 70-80 passenger capacity) of IndiGo (flight numbers 7000-7999) will be shifted to T4. This means, passengers flying to destinations such as Salem, Thoothukudi, Kozhikode, Mangaluru, Madurai, Tiruchi, Mysuru, Kadapa, Kurnool, Vijayawada, Rajahmundry, and Kannur via IndiGo's ATR flights must board at T4. Arrivals still at T1 But passengers who arrive in these flights will still disembark at T1. When asked about the reason for the new arrangements, which would likely confuse flyers, officials said they had been made for the benefit of transit passengers. 'There are a significant number of passengers who arrive on these ATR flights and will have connecting flights by IndiGo to cities such as Delhi or Mumbai. For these, they will have to come to T1. IndiGo flies larger aircraft such as Code C, which are operated from T1, to these cities. To make it easy for such passengers, we have planned departures and arrivals at different terminals. As soon as the passengers arrive, they can complete the necessary security formalities and get ready for their next flight,' an official said. So far, at Chennai airport, IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air have been handling all departures and arrivals at T1, whereas Air India and Air India Express flights are being handled at T4. The recent changes are also to facilitate the strengthening of taxiway H. Following the upgrade, the taxiway will be able to handle Code E flights (wide-body flights such as B787, with huge passenger capacity). 'Since we are closing four bays at T1, some of the Code C flights (such as A320) will have remote boarding, with passengers needing to take a shuttle bus. This could cause congestion at the bus lounge. So, we decided to transfer the ATR flights of IndiGo to T4 temporarily,' the official added. Officials said that on Saturday, they would put up signage from the entry point all the way to T4. 'Passengers who are flying to these smaller airports must check their ticket and come to T4. We have been posting about this almost every day on social media. The airline has been asked to communicate the changes with the passengers,' he added.

When Every Tourist On Eiffel Tower Vibed To ‘Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein'
Last Updated: The video shows the group singing the legendary Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein. A group of Indian travellers transformed Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower into an impromptu Bollywood concert spot. Captivating passersby, they performed the classic Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein, a romantic melody from the 1951 film Chori Chori, originally sung by legends Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey. The beautifully shot video captures the trio singing in perfect harmony near the Eiffel Tower, with spectators, many of them tourists from around the world, enjoying the soulful performance. Some are seen clapping along and swaying to the tune. This enchanting blend of classic Indian music against the stunning Parisian backdrop created a magical atmosphere that resonated deeply with viewers. The video's caption read, 'Every tourist enjoyed Indian song with us at the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France." It quickly went viral, earning praise for the group's spontaneous and heartwarming musical tribute. Indian music has often bridged cultural and language divisions, with people across nations appreciating it. Weeks back, Deanna Leigh, a 23-year-old travel vlogger from the United Kingdom, posted a hilarious video on Instagram about how she unexpectedly fell in love with India's 'Swach Bharat" jingle. She said, 'I heard it all the time in Jodhpur. I thought it was just a fun song people sang every morning." Deanna had no idea that the catchy tune blaring from loudspeakers was a call to take out the trash. She said, 'I didn't know. I just thought it was a cheerful morning tune." Sharing her opinion, Deanna wrote, 'My new favourite song in India! At one point, this was all I would hear in the mornings. I had no clue what it meant… but damn, what a banger!" In the video, a garbage truck is shown rolling down the street while playing charming music, leaving Deanna both amazed and fascinated. Prasoon Joshi wrote the song Swachh Bharat Ka Irada, which was sung by Kailash Kher. First Published:
