Popular TikToker and social media star Jannat Mirza recently faced online criticism after sharing a video showing her traveling alone on a nearly empty airplane. Many users speculated that she had booked the entire flight for herself, a claim she strongly denied.
In a candid Instagram story, Jannat wrote,
“We had the whole plane to ourselves! I didn’t book the whole plane, LOL. I wish I could though. Feels so stupid even clarifying this.”
She further urged people to be more mindful, noting that Hajj is just two days away, and discouraged starting unnecessary negativity in the comments.
Her clarification came after trolls questioned her “intentions” and accused her of flaunting wealth. The influencer stressed that the flight was simply empty due to reasons beyond her control.
With this post, Jannat not only defended herself but also highlighted a larger issue: the tendency of online audiences to jump to conclusions. Her response has been widely appreciated by fans who believe that public figures deserve respect and understanding, especially during sacred occasions like Hajj.
