The pilot shared the story on Twitter which has since been widely shared on social media.
"Did a Delhi-Gaya-Delhi flight today. An elderly lady wanted to look into the cockpit & when she saw me, she exclaimed in an haryanvi accent “Oi yahan to chorri baithi!” Could not stop laughing!" her tweet read. She also clarified that the incident happened when the flight landed back in Delhi.
Netizens took the opportunity to stress on how women are now seen in previously male-dominated fields.
"Humaari chori choron se kam hai ke? (Are our women less then the men?)," a user wrote.
"That elderly woman would surely share the moment of her shock with the chorris of her community and that would be something inspiring for them, no doubt. You are a source of inspiration to many," another user wrote.
