Air India is yet to respond to Kapoor's tweet yet.
Meanwhile, the tweet raged a lot of Twitter users who criticized the Tata Group-owned airline for serving unsatisfactory meals during flights.
One user reacted to the tweet and wrote, ''That's being very brave ! Serving cold food with strange combos to you !! Hopefully, the Tata group will look into it and improve.'' Another commented, ''I hate to eat food on flights. Never book one. Either eat before or after the journey. Atleast we can eat hot and healthy meal. Even coffee/tea is terrible on flight. Even water is served chilled...I carry my own flask and fill it at the water kiosks after check-in.''
Last month, a woman complained that she found a piece of stone she found in a meal served to her.
The Twitter user named Sarvapriya Sangwan shared two pictures of the meal, showing a small piece of stone, that she found in her meal aboard Air India flight 215.
