In India, Mother’s Day is observed on the second Sunday of May. Now, if you’re finished sharing images and videos of your mother on social media to express your appreciation for her role in your life, join us for an inspiring story. We’ve come across a touching moment involving a mother and daughter who happened to be on the same flight, not as passengers, but as cabin crew.
A viral video on Twitter captures the heartwarming encounter between this mother-daughter duo as they board the same flight. The video, shared by IndiGo (@IndiGo6E), features Nabira Sashmi, a young flight attendant, introducing herself to the passengers at the outset. With heartfelt emotion, she announces, “It’s an honor to introduce you to my mom… on Mother’s Day. I apologize if tears come, it’s my first time seeing my mom onboard in uniform.”
Reflecting on her journey, Nabira continues, “I’ve witnessed her hard work in the cabin for years, and today, I’m stepping into her shoes. Over the past six years, I’ve heard her voice on the PA system, and today marks the day when I’m speaking on her behalf. My hope is to make her proud today.”
In this tender moment, Nabira’s mother, visibly moved, leans in to plant a kiss on her daughter’s cheek, capturing the depth of their shared emotions. This heartening episode reminds us of the profound bonds that exist between a mother and her child, even in the unique circumstances of their professional lives.
