Flight Attendant Moved to Tears After Artist Sketches Her Mid-Flight: ‘Made Me Feel Worthy’

The story of one of the flights in Mumbai which saw a flight attendant being surprised mid-air by a sketch by one of the artists on-board and wowed internet users, is on another level. On Instagram, a digital art specialist Ayushi Singh posted a video that shows a flight in December that she had taken. In the video, Singh was recording a stewardess called Mumta dispensing safety rules to passengers. Her moment inspired her and she was motivated to do a sketch at that moment. “Something about her just gave me the feeling to sketch her,” Singh explained.

With nothing more than a digital tablet and her fingers, Singh managed to maneuver quite a portrait of Mumta. She did not want to share it at first, but finally called the flight attendant to her to come over.

"You need assistance, ma'am?" Mumta asked, approaching with a smile.

"Hi Mumta, I saw you assisting us with the flight instructions so I did a sketch for you," Singh said, revealing the drawing.

Mumta felt surprised and joyful. "Thank you so much. It's so lovely. Can I take a picture of this?" she asked, visibly moved by the gesture.

The two women were then together in a photo. Singh also said that the passenger seated next to her liked her drawing and he turned out to be her client.

“The joy of creating is one thing. But the smile it brings to someone else? That’s the real masterpiece. I hope this video reaches Mumta,” Singh wrote in her caption.

And it did. A day later, Mumta commented on the reel: “So finally today I spotted this reel, my video. I’m still grateful for this—just this portrait made me feel worthy that day. Till today, I’m speechless. Thank you so much for making my day so memorable. Still holds a very special feeling.”

The video quickly won praise online. “The reaction is so filterless, it’s heartwarming,” said one user. Another added, “Only a few people do things just to make others feel happy. Keep it up.”
