Viral: Couple Shares Scary Experience With Dry Shampoo At Airport, Amuses Internet

The thrill of takeoff, the hum of the engines, and the promise of adventure – air travel is a marvel of modern life. But for one couple, their journey took an unexpected turn when a seemingly innocuous item in their luggage sparked a security scare. In a video going viral on Instagram, a couple named Anusha and Aman shared their experience of being pulled aside for extra security screening due to suspicion of an illegal item in their bag.

Recounting the incident, Anusha explained that Aman received an unexpected WhatsApp call minutes before they were to board their IndiGo flight. Upon answering, he was instructed to report to Gate No. 3, as security had discovered a suspicious item in their luggage.

"We went to gate no 3, where she (staff member) said, 'Come with me,' and took us to a shady IT room," said Anusha. 

She added, "We entered the room and it was my bag on the table, not Aman's. I was 100 per cent sure we were called here because of my dry shampoo and it turned out to be true."
