Indian artist Mitali Salunke became the subject of an online controversy following a viral video of her painting Lord Ganesha during a flight. The footage, originally posted on Instagram by Salunke on September 21, depicted her creating a vibrant artwork of the Hindu deity against what seemed to be an airplane window. Many social media users incorrectly assumed she had painted directly onto the aircraft's window, leading to accusations of property damage and violations of aviation regulations.
The video later resurfaced on X, where users expressed their disapproval and questioned the safety of the artist's actions. Salunke clarified in a comment that she hadn't painted directly on the plane's window. Instead, she had used a transparent sheet placed against the window, giving the appearance that she was painting on the aircraft itself.
She provided a photo of the completed artwork, which was indeed created on a separate transparent sheet rather than the airplane's window.
