“Holi is a festival that paints the world with happiness, and at SpiceJet, we are thrilled to kick off the celebrations with our signature ‘Balam Pichkari’ performance. Our incredible crew turned the aircraft into a stage of joy, blending music, dance, and tradition to create an unforgettable experience for our passengers. We are proud to celebrate India’s vibrant culture with this burst of festive cheer – wishing everyone a Holi filled with colour, love, and safe travels!” Debojo Maharshi, Chief Business Officer, SpiceJet.
A user by the name of Govind Roy (@govindroyicai) shared the video on Instagram, accompanied by a caption, “SpiceJet entertaining their customers like this on the occasion of Holi.”
The video garnered more than 300,000 views and ignited a discussion online. A number of social media users expressed their discontent with the concept. Some deemed the initiative unprofessional, while others associated it with delays and service-related problems. “Many years ago, I traveled on SpiceJet, and that day I decided it would be my last time with them. I am so glad I took that decision, and I still do not travel with this airline,” wrote one user.
“Why are you forcing people to do a job out of their job description? Let them do better on what they signed up for,” said one user.
