Hindus across India are celebrating Chaitra Navratri, a festival spanning nine days and nights devoted to revering Goddess Durga. Devotees mark these days holy by fasting known as Navratri Vrat where they only consume fresh fruits, non-root veggies, grains and dairy items. Ashneer Grover’s wife, Madhuri Jain Grover who is also fasting for Navratri was pleasantly surprised to be served Navratri thali on Air India. Here’s more to it.
Madhuri Grover Lauds Air India’s Navratri Fasting Thali
Highly impressed and surprised with the flight attendant of @airindia for serving Navaratri Thali as meal, on learning that I was fasting. Have travelled around the world, but no other airline has such nuanced food options. All others offer you is fruits/tea/coffee. Thank you… pic.twitter.com/8865yA6OCf

Netizens Happy To See This Special In-Flight Meal
Netizens praised Air India for its diverse food options. @GuruDev_Somani called it amazing. @narendrak02 is glad Air India got it right but attacked Vistara for not following suit .@saurabhg called it a pretty filling meal. Other Netizens were pleasantly surprised with the Air India Navratri fasting in-flight meal.
Glad that you got it…another Tata airline @airvistara has zero sensibility towards fasting passengers!!!
