"I'm an Indian woman and am offended by this video. Why would you say that woman in India are not allowed to become a pilot? Ofcourse they are, aren't there many Indian pilots around? There must be something else. Stop generalizing and defaming India!"

@curlaakaari said:

"Appreciated and Inspiring. But it's not that women in India are not allowed or it's hard for them to become a Pilot, it might be a case with her family or just herself. Let's not diminish the facts and criticize the whole country for a spicy story script."
