Riddhima Kapoor Sahni recently opened up about a frightening experience she and her daughter Samara Sahni encountered during a flight, leaving both of them shaken and emotional. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Riddhima shared a heartfelt message describing a sudden mid-air jolt that caught them completely off guard.
In her note, she wrote:“Today, my daughter and I experienced a moment I’ll never forget. Our plane touched down, and then suddenly lifted back into the sky. For those few seconds, both of our hearts stopped. I held her hand so tightly as she looked at me with fear in her eyes, and all I could do was stay strong for her while silently trying to steady my own breath.
We were traumatised for a moment, but we’re safe – and that’s all that truly matters. Experiences like this shake you, but they also remind you how fragile and precious life is.”
Riddhima revealed that the unexpected takeoff moments after landing left them petrified. While trying to calm her daughter, she herself struggled to steady her breath in what she described as a deeply emotional moment. The post resonated with many who related to the vulnerability of experiencing such sudden turbulence, especially when traveling with a child.
