She told me to meet her in Ahmedabad and they will fly back to Mumbai on the First flight from Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But due to my walk, I almost forgot the date. On 6th August she called me and told me she will give me all the Travel expenses and told me to join her in Ahmedabad. But I was in Nanded almost 1000 Km away from Ahmedabad. I took a taxi and the road was in extremely bad condition and it took me 7 hours to reach Aurangabad. I somehow managed to take the last Bus at 7 pm from Aurangabad to Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flight from <strong>Ahmedabad to Mumbai <\/strong>was at 12:05 Pm but I reached at 1 Pm almost 4 hours late from the scheduled time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was completely frustrated as after traveling more than 1000 km on such a rough road, I missed the flight. My friend already got another ticket booked for the next flight, but I was not expecting much on that flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily I found that Mr. Jhunjhunwala is going on that same flight to Mumbai and using a <strong>wheelchair for assistance<\/strong>. I got to know that he was hospitalized 2-3 days ago and nobody was expecting him to attend the inauguration due to his health. But he not just got discharged but also made it to the first flight.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Special Interaction with Jhunjhunwala<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-58.png\" alt=\"Kiran Verma with Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Akasa Air Founder\" class=\"wp-image-25705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-58.png 672w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-58-600x540.png 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-58-300x270.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><figcaption>Kiran Verma with Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Akasa Air Founder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Earlier he used to fly on the first flight but fortunately, he was busy with his team and took the second flight and I joined him. He was open to everyone and was interacting with All the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not just that he was taking the same flight back to his home within just a few hours. It\u2019s exhausting for a healthy person to travel so much in a day but this man was beating all odds to see his youngest startup launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His passion was clearly visible when he was asking people for feedback and interacting without any security arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spoke with him about my walk and campaign for 5-10 Mins.
