Then last evening, actress Ayesha Takia and Kingfisher heir Sidhartha Mallya fought The Great Twitter war. Ms Takia tweeted a series of complaints alleging that her sister had been mistreated by the staff of Kingfisher Airlines.

Mr Mallya responded by asking her to "pipe down, love." Not exactly great customer service, though his airline's official twitter account was far more obliging.

Ayesha's tweets, heavy on exclamation marks began with: Followers of the actress promptly weighed in with messages of support, condemning Kingfisher and urging Ayesha to file a complaint, to which she responded with: We r goin 2 take serious action against this and go 2 court with it,let the law handle it,so that this dosent happen 2 any girl again! In the wake of all this angst on Twitter, Kingfisher scion Sidharth Mallya aimed a few well chosen words of his own: And then signed off with: Leaving Ayesha Takia fuming with tweets like: It was left to Ayesha's father to step in and explain, on Twitter, what had really happened to his other daughter. His tweet reads: Ayesha's sister, Natasha Takia, was booked onto a Kingfisher flight from Kathmandu to New Delhi, from where she would take a connecting flight to Mumbai.

Kingfisher cancelled the flight from Kathmandu and booked her onto an Air India flight which arrived late in Delhi. As a result, Natasha missed her connection to Mumbai.

Kingfisher denied that their staff even handed Natasha a boarding pass, leave alone tear it up, as she was wait listed. While Ayesha Takia and Sidhartha Mallya traded insults, Kingfisher's official Twitter account made amends, apologizing to Natasha Takia for inconvenience caused: While being careful to explain they were not to blame: Their parting shot: The war of tweets comes to a graceful end with Vijay Mallya's tweet: "My personal apologies 2 Natasha Ayesha Takia's sister if she was disappointed with our service.

Will have her allegations fully investigated". Ayesha was quick to reciprocate, accepting the olive branch: "I just read the tweet from Mr.

vijay mallya..

,I appreciate the response and hope the matter is seriously looked into and dealt with." Tweet (less)

We are going to take serious action against this and go to court with it, let the law handle it, so that this does not happen to any girl again (sic)," she tweeted. "Is this how a girl alone at an airport gets treated by the staff of the airline she is flying.

She is unwell and has a horrible backache, can't believe this happened to her right now. My heart is beating so fast with anger that a girl at an airport gets treated this way by airport staff! He is at the kingfisher counter (sic)," she said.

Ayesha, who was paired opposite Salman Khan in Bollywood flick Wanted, said a staffer of airline tore the boarding pass of her younger sibling at the airport. Ayesha's tweets however, gave no reason on what led to the incident.

Responding to Ayesha's tweet, Sidhartha Mallya, son of Chairman of Kingfisher Airlines Vijay Mallya raised doubts over the actress' claim. "Been getting tweets about Ayesha Takia & KFA.

Not too sure who she is, an actor of some sorts?? But it seems something has upset her," Sidhartha Mallya tweeted. "Don't know why Ayesha Takia is tweeting so much when she wasn't even present.

There are always two sides to a story. Pipe down love," he said.

In an official response, Kingfisher has denied any such misbehaviour by their staff member. "This guest was booked to travel with Kingfisher Airlines from New Delhi to Mumbai and we understand that she arrived into New Delhi on the flight of another airline which reportedly landed late.

As a result of this, the guest missed her connecting flight to Mumbai. As soon as she produced a confirmation from the airline on which she arrived certifying that their flight arrived late, our staff offered her a wait-listed option on our next available flight as our next flight was running full.

We categorically deny that any of our staff misbehaved with this valued guest. We also deny that any of our staff tore her boarding card as alleged.

The boarding card had in fact not even been handed over to the guest as she was waitlisted. We regret any inconvenience that may have been caused to the guest on account of her missing her connecting flight.

Natasha who was travelling by Kingfisher Airlines from Delhi to Mumbai claims tohave had a shocking experience by the Kingfeisher staff. Ayesha tweeted, “My heart is beating so fast with anger that a girl at an airport gets treated this way by airport staff! Vinay Podwal ( KA staff) misbehaved with a passenger and tore her boarding pass.

Vinay at Delhi airport, threatend and yelled at my sister saying he can throw anyone out and tore her boarding pass.” She also informs that her sister Natasha is shocked by the whole incident and unwell.

“She is unwell and has a horrible backache, I can’t believe this happened to her rite now! Is this how a girl alone at an airport gets treated by the staff of the airline she is flying?” asks Ayesha. Reacting to this, son of Vijay Mallya, Siddharth tweeted: “Been getting retweets about Ayesha Takia & KFA.

Not too sure who she is, an actor of some sorts?? But it seems something has upset her! Don’t know why Ayesha Takia is tweeting so much when she wasn’t even present. There are always two sides to a story.

” (The remark comes as amusing, as Siddharth’s only claim to fame is a rich dad). Ayesha who is shocked by Siddharth’s comments informs that she is going to take legal action against the airlines.

She retorted on the micro-blogging site: “My sis is a normal Indian girl, traveling economy so of course you won’t give a shit, I know the whole story because it happened to my sister. I will rant Siddharth Mallaya.

This is your way of dealing with a hospitality business! Learn manners and respect.” “We are going to take serious action against this and go to court with it, let the law handle it, so that this doesn’t happen to any girl again,” says a defiant Ayesha Takia.

Despite being issued a boarding pass, Junior B was not allowed to board a Jet Airways flight. The reason given was that he had come late! Consequently, he opted to fly by another airline to Jaipur where his shoot for Bol Bachchan with Ajay Devgn, Asin and Prachi Desai was delayed by three hours.

The actor sounded upset with the experience as he tweeted: "Jet Airways, you just lost one of your most loyal customers." It is learnt that the actor was taking the 5.

50 am Jet Airways flight to the Rajasthan capital. However, when he went to board the aircraft he was stopped for coming late.

A well-placed source from the sets of the Rohit Shetty film maintains that the actor had reached the airport in time. "In fact, Abhishek had even been given the boarding pass at the check-in counter.

And strangely his luggage wasn't loaded either even though he had asked for it to be checked in," explains our informer, adding that it was the fault of the airline representative at the check-in counter. "It seems that she didn't inform her colleagues at the last counter before boarding the flight.

Even after Abhishek wasn't allowed to get onto the aircraft, she could have intervened because she had issued the boarding pass. But it looks like she didn't care much and didn't take the initiative of attending to a passenger despite no fault of his," he added.

Displeased with the turn of events, Bachchan booked a ticket on an Air India flight that was departing for Jaipur at 8.40 am.

The spokesperson of Jet Airways stated, "We were awaiting the guest's arrival for the early morning Jaipur flight. However, due to boarding gate closure procedures for all airlines to depart on time, the guest could not be accommodated on this flight.

The guest was looked after at the lounge and an alternate flight was offered. Inconvenience caused to the guest is regretted.

People and fans are eagerly waiting to watch the movie and listen to my musical compositions. They have appreciated my trailers of the movie and hope Inshaallah it does well.

In fact this would be a double celebration for me as the movie releases on 2nd March which also happens to be my wife Ayesha's birthday. There are also plans to do a special screening in Pakistan at Karachi on 8th March.

Aditi the co star of the movie is very keen to visit Pakistan and if we can get the permission she will surely be there along with me at the screening in Karachi. The Pakistan actor is all in cloud nine when he was recently tweeted by BIG B.

Amitabh Bachchan tweeted Ali saying, The haunting melodies of Coke Studio still remain, and fill you up with emotionthe tears well up in appreciation! to which Ali responds back saying, You just don't know what it means when it comes from a legendary actor of the Bollywood industry. The warmth and love I have received from the industry has been a great motivation for me.

I hope to stay on and do much better work in future too. When we asked Ali about his passion for painting he reveals to us, Yes, its been long time I haven't been able to paint.

I need to hold my paint and brushes again and this time it's my dream to paint some of the legendary beauties of the Bollywood industry. So would he like to exhibit his paintings someday and he replies, Why not, its always interesting and challenging to do something different (less)
