Rs 20 Water at Airport: Celeb Couple Hails Udan Cafe Plan

Celebrity power couple Vatsal Seth and Ishita Dutta are raving about a revolutionary government scheme that's slashing airport food prices. Their recent Mumbai airport escapade highlights how the 'Udan Yatri Cafe' is winning hearts – and wallets. Posted on Instagram, the couple's video captures them at the cafe, pointing to a rate chart boasting unbeatable deals: coffee for pennies, samosas within reach, and water at Rs 10 per bottle. Ishita snaps up two for Rs 20, while Vatsal sips his coffee with a grin. Vatsal doesn't hold back: "This is brilliant work by the government. Basic necessities at airports were notoriously expensive, and passengers complained endlessly. Now, these low prices are a game-changer." The post, tagged with the cafe's name, has gone viral, drawing cheers from followers tired of inflated airport bills. A brainchild of the Civil Aviation Ministry and AAI, Udan Yatri Cafes deliver clean, quality eats at minimal cost. Rolled out across key hubs, the network kicked off in Kolkata last December and now serves Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar, Vijayawada, Itanagar, Hyderabad, and Lucknow. By March 2026, 11 airports will host these outlets, with snacks starting at Rs 10. For years, travelers vented frustration over overpriced airport fare. This proactive step not only addresses those pain points but elevates the entire flying experience, fostering inclusivity in India's soaring aviation sector.
