Kannada Actor Dhruva Sarja's Narrow Escape: IndiGo Flight From Delhi To Srinagar Encounters Turbulence

An IndiGo flight, 6E6125, from New Delhi to Srinagar faced heavy turbulence on Monday due to bad weather conditions. The flight departed from Delhi airport at 5:25 pm and encountered turbulence caused by heavy rain. Kannada actor Dhruva Sarja and the Martin movie team were on board but escaped unhurt after their aircraft skidded off the runway at an airport. Fortunately, the entire film crew landed safely.

The Martin movie team, in the final stages of shooting, was traveling from Delhi to Srinagar in an IndiGo flight for a song shoot. Adverse weather conditions prevented the pilot from landing, causing panic among passengers. Thankfully, the pilot managed to land the aircraft safely with timely intervention.

Following the incident, the Martin movie team recorded a video inside the aircraft, describing the tense situation. They expressed gratitude to God and Lord Hanuman for their safety, likening the experience to a rebirth. Dhruva Sarja also took to social media to thank his parents, VIPs, and his elder brother for their blessings, noting that this was a second life for everyone and an opportunity to live life to the fullest.

A video from the flight showed passengers gripping their seats as the aircraft shook. Baba Firdous, chief of 'Kashmir Seva Sangh,' was also a passenger and later described the experience as a new life for him and others on board.

Heavy rains and snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday led to the suspension of traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway due to landslides and stone shooting from hillocks in Ramban district. Two interstate highways were also closed as a precautionary measure due to fresh snowfall in Bhaderwah, Doda district. The sudden road closures left hundreds of passengers stranded, and authorities have advised against travel on the highway until it is cleared and the weather improves.
