Big B loses luggage,
for the 18th time!
July 18, 2008. The ‘Unforgettable’ tour of the Bachchans has not yet begun, but it’s already become unforgettable for the family which lost its checked-in baggage on a British Airways (BA) flight. And, according to the Bachchans, this is the 18th time it has happened on the same airline. However, by the evening
of July 17, the airline arranged to send the bags back.
Their BA flight had taken off from Heathrow airport at 3.33pm (local time) and landed at Pearson International airport, Toronto, at 6.41pm (local time). Besides the Bachchan clan — Big B, Abhishek and Aishwarya — the other stars include Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta, Riteish Deshmukh, Shilpa Shetty and Madhuri Dixit. The tour starts on Friday and performances are slated in Britain, the US, Canada, Trinidad & Tobago and Holland. Recounting the incident, Big B says in his blog on July 16: All my bags that I personally checked in and identified at the base of the aircraft in London, all lost! Turn to p12 This is the 18th time British Airways has done this to me and family. In an SMS to DNA from London, Amitabh confirmed the incident: “Yes, bags lost. Production looking into it.” When contacted, a BA spokesperson expressed regret, but claimed it was a deliberate move. “As it was a world tour with a troupe of 80-90 people travelling along with the Bachchans, the bags were held back for security reasons,” she said. “We have located the bags and arrangements have been made to send them to Toronto from London by another BA flight,” she added. Sources in the BA said it was not only the Bachhans but the bags of some other tour members too were held back as it was a huge consignment. |
