Bollywood actress Aahana Kumra who has appeared in the film Lipstick Under My Burkha is breaking the headlines these days.

Aahana Kumra held for Ransom by Cab Driver
Aahana reportedly booked a cab through MakeMyTrip to travel from Shimla to Amritsar on March 23. She even made the payments on the same day but her driver claimed to have not received the amount from the travel company, MakeMyTrip and held the actor hostage for hours until he recovered the amount from the company.
In a series of tweets, a shaken Aahana shared the horrifying details of her unfortunate experience from her ongoing trip to ensure she reaches her destination safely. She said the cab driver named Sushil, working for VD Travel, a car hire company, refused to move forward if he didn’t receive the payment through the online travel company into his account.
She took to her Twitter to talk about the incident and wrote, “Now I’m being held ransom in the middle of the road out of nowhere @makemytrip for the payment that’s not been received by the cab service. Please do not make this worst for me!! It’s not safe!!!!”.

In another tweet, she mentioned that she could not cancel the ride since it is Shilma and difficult to find another ride. She wrote, “If it was Bom or Del I would’ve definitely cancelled this cab but because it’s Shimla and transportation isn’t easy to find I have not been able to cancel this ride. @makemytrip you’re a utter disappointment. No one should use this service for the sheer fact they have no regards.”.

I urge urge everyone to boycott @makemytrip . For a girl to be travelling through this company by cab or any other mode of transportation is extremely unsafe. The driver is a liar and not someone you can trust. All I want to do is reach my destination safely. Please help!!!!

After reaching Amritsar safely, the actress wrote:
Just reached Amritsar safely. The driver was extremely overworked and sleepy but I’m only too grateful to everyone who has been in constant touch with me throughout my journey. It’s been very scary for the first time and I really never wish to repeat this mistake ever again. 🙏🌸
