Divyanka Tripathi pissed at society for ostracizing flight crew; asks, “Why do we not applaud them during these difficult times?”

Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya has been a well-read actress who is quite vocal when she sees something unfair happening. Her social media is updated as the actress connects with her fans over current topics besides just her acting and work. Now, she has spoken up about another important issue.

Amidst the Coronavirus crisis, Divyanka’s brother who happens to be a pilot is in self-quarantine due to international travel. However, looking at the hullabaloo created around it, Divyanka is surprised at how easily our society gets mislead due to lack of information and neglects the hard work which flight crew, pilots and others have put in during these difficult times.

Speaking about her brother Divyanka says, “My brother told me that he was flying the craft in and out of India which was cleared by Ministry of Civil Aviation like any other flight crew. His last international flight was about 13 days ago and he shows no symptoms of Corona and has been reporting every day to authorized govt doctors for the same. All aviation crew who have done international fights in recent past have gone under self-quarantine but it does not mean that they are positive. It’s just a safety measure.”

As per the announcement on March 24 by PM Narendra Modi, the entire nation is under lockdown and in quarantine mode. As a safety measure, a sticker has been put up outside Divyanka’s Bhopal home yesterday which may be misleading for others. Have a look at what the sticker reads as:

My brother willingly went into self Quarantine as it’s his duty as a citizen.
What’s devastating is that a couple of days ago these labels were put up outside our Bhopal house (when his self Quarantine period was almost over) with no indication that the person mentioned is ‘Not a COVID-19 patient’.
Few days back, govt medical officers even visited my home (which should have been a regular follow up) but they met our house help and created a hue and cry that my brother has Corona which was completely false!
Such incidents have created a stir and raised eyebrows! It’s rather stigmatizing!
We completely appreciate the efforts being made to make our nation CORONA -FREE. But officials have to remember that we are respectable people living in a society and others have to be careful not falling prey to half information.

Talking of the same, Divyanka shares, “We have clapped for all the doctors and medical personnel working during these difficult times but why do we not applaud for the flight crew that rescued our citizens from various parts of the world. They kept providing us essential services knowing the risk. We were worried about my brother traveling, so were thousands of families for their sons and daughters in aviation. Yet they performed their duty.”

To add to the hypocrisy, India clapped for the medical staff but is boycotting them too on ground level within building societies and ill-treating the aviation staff as well. Divyanka sure makes a valid point and we hope that our world is able to battle the virus instead of each other through ostracism during this time!

“Why do we not applaud the flight crew during these difficult times,” concludes Divyanka.
