People on the internet had a field day when Sania Mirza tweeted about a farcical question that she was asked while on a plane. “What do you reply when the person sitting next to you on the plane going to Hyderabad asks you ‘where r you going, Hyderabad?’#justhappened??” Some people came up with witty responses that she could have resorted to, while others suggested that she should be nice as that person was just trying to break the ice. A few stand-up comics share with us the one-liners that they would resort to when posed with such a question.

I would say something absurd! Like, I may be saying something like 'No, I'm going to Iceland." Or that I'm going towards Nirvana.

I’d say, ‘Yes. I’m a very famous Badminton player there. #SaniaSaina’ or ‘No. There’s an MP on the flight. We might not even take off’.
Atul Khatri
I would say ‘No, I’m headed to Mumbai. Sh*t, am I on the wrong plane?’ An interesting scene would follow.

That’s a stupid question! I’m with Sania on that. So I think I’d say something stupid too, like, ‘No, I am going to Mahboobnagar. I’ll jump off the flight with a parachute when it’s around there.’ Or another could be, “No, I am an airhostess here. I joined recently. Would you like me to ‘serve’ you?"
