Sudha Chandran appeals to PM as airport officials ask her to ‘remove artificial limb’; Karanvir Bohra extends support

Actor Sudha Chandran shared a video and revealed that she was asked to remove her artificial limb at the airport. The actress mentioned that she has to follow this process each time she is on a professional trip. She further went on and made an appeal to honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chandran requested the PM to issue senior citizen cards for a better experience. The video appeal made by Sudha Chandran received immense support from actors and colleagues from the industry.

The 56-year-old actor started her video, greeting one and all. She then went on to narrate her ordeal at the airport during her international professional visits. In the video, Chandran said, “Good evening, this is a very personal note that I want to tell to our dear Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, this is an appeal to the central government, I am Sudha Chandran, an actress and dancer by profession, who has danced with an artificial limb and created history and made my country very proud of me.”

Chandran further explained how, each time she travels, she requests the CISF officials at the airport to conduct an ETD (Explosive trace detector) but instead, they ask her to “remove her artificial limb”. She added, “But every time that I go on my professional visits, each time, am stopped at the airport and when I request them at the security, to the CISF officers that please do an ETD (Explosive Trace Detector) for my artificial limb, they still want me to remove my artificial limb and show it to them. Is this humanly possible, Modi ji?.”

Sudha Chandran went on to raise thought provoking questions and demanded answers for the same. The actress concluded her video saying, “It is my humble request to you Modi ji that please give senior citizens a card that says they are senior citizens.”
