YouTuber Threatened for Not Speaking Marathi
The video featured a woman who was supposed to work in Hyundai with the name being printed in her shirt.
The cause of the heated debate is yet to be established, however, in the video, the passenger begins by asking her, “You are telling me that I need to speak in Marathi?”, and the woman responded in a frustrated manner, Yes, please do that.
It was the woman who would not name herself at that time, who went on, “You are going to Mumbai, you should know Marathi.” The passenger, then, calmly replied “no, I do not speak Marathi.”
The passenger shared on social media that this had happened to her in AI676. Flight AI676 operates between Kolkata and Mumbai.
Thereafter, he summoned the crew to assist him and stated, Kya Badtameezi Hai Yeh. She is requesting me to talk in Marathi. What is this?” The woman occupant then retorted by saying, come down at Mumbai I will reveal to you what badtameezi is.
Truth, I do not have a Mahiti tumhala Marathi mahiti nahi na, tumhi basa, she added.

And, one concluded, “@hyundaiindia @airindia what kind of behaviour is this. We live in a secular place. Marathi is not our national language.”
