The fashionista also took to Instagram, sharing a picture of herself in a car. In her Instagram story, she calls upon Uber India to do something concrete for the safety of women. She once again revealed that she had the worst experience in an Uber with the driver who fled with her luggage and returned drunk.
Netizens Have Hot-Cold Approach To Her Issue
While some Twitteratis poured out support and empathy to her, others blamed her for various reasons. One asked her to at least hide the perpetrator’s details while accusing her of giving free publicity to Khubani. Others asked her why she couldn’t take a metro and then there were some that called it a PR exercise. Well, women’s safety is serious irrespective of a celebrity or any commoner involved.
I do agree They are the worst , pathetic stinking cab’s unprofessional drivers. Rude behaviour , frequent cancellation just because driver don’t want to go across states
