"The flight got turbulent right at the take-off," Mittal wrote in a LinkedIn post on February 8.

She added, "I have always been bad on flights. In 2022 I developed added fears due to a health condition I am going through because of vaccine/covid (cause unknown),"

"The moment I kept my hand on the divider in the middle of the two seats, my co-passenger held my hand and said, ¡®Hey, it¡¯s ok. Tell me your name. Let¡¯s talk,¡¯" Mittal wrote in her LinkedIn post, sharing a picture with the co-passenger in question ¨C Anil Kapoor.

"If he didn¡¯t speak that moment, I would have never spoken in the interest of keeping his privacy," she added.

As it turned out, Kapoor's concern for his fellow passenger resulted in a remarkable two-hour trip for Mittal. As per Mittal, they discussed everything from worry to financial planning to property prices in Mumbai and more during that time together.

"We spoke about anxiety. He asked about my profession, and we discussed financial planning, retirement plans, money management, and writing a will," wrote Mittal.

She went on to share just 10 of the many topics they discussed.
