Aditi Rao Hydari took to X (formerly Twitter) to complain about Heathrow Airport and British Airways, saying that despite promises for quick resolution, she and other passengers have been waiting for their baggage for 17 hours since their Mumbai flight landed in London at 2:15 pm. Aditi’s tweet also criticised the situation, while bringing to notice tired passengers, hungry children, and those needing assistance left waiting at an empty luggage area.
Aditi wrote on X, “The flight from mumbai landed in london at 2:15 pm. It’s now 6:02 pm. tired passengers, hungry children, people in wheelchairs chairs are waiting at an empty luggage belt with no information and zero responsibility except QR codes that are being handed out for an airport where the tech has supposedly crashed! Oh! generous compensation for toiletries are being offered. Geeee thanks!”
British Airways apologised, but Aditi pointed out that after waiting for 5 hours at the airport, she and others left without their bags, including essential items like medicines. “5 hours patiently waiting at an airport… and I’m now leaving the airport without my bag as are many other distressed people. People who have medicines, epipens and other essentials. There is zero assurance that we will get our luggage within 24 hours. An apology is really not enough for this disastrous mess… it’s a shame,” she added.
On Wednesday afternoon, Aditi again took to X and wrote, “17 hours later…the saga continues! @British_Airways…. Slow clap! Still waiting…. Suitcase please! Also to everyone sending me messages about @British_Airways… I feel your pain! at this point I just need my suitcase (And for all the passengers who are super stressed and waiting).”
19 hours and ticking…. Also, @British_Airways just putting it out there. This isn't my first rodeo with the brits…watch#Heeramandi on @NetflixIndia and you'll know that I'm not one to go down without a fight for justice! So can you free our bags! ASAP!I have a conference…

She mentioned this isn’t her first time facing issues with British Airways and urged them to watch Heeramandi, adding, “9 hours and ticking….Also, @British_Airways just putting it out there. This isn’t my first rodeo with the brits…watch #Heeramandi on @NetflixIndia and you’ll know that I’m not one to go down without a fight for justice! So can you free our bags! ASAP! I have a conference to attend, and the essentials I’ll need for it will not meet your criteria for essentials.”
Aditi will next star in a silent film called Gandhi Talks alongside Aravind Swami, Vijay Sethupathi, and Siddharth Jadhav.
