Details
The driver was unstable and was yelling, Sonam shared
Although Sonam (34) did not share much details about the incident, but, in a reply to blogger/columnist Priya Mulji, she wrote, "The driver was unstable and was yelling and shouting. I was shaking by the end of it." While some users supported Sonam, others said that it must not be Uber's fault, whereas some inquired, "why all bad things happen to you (Sonam)".
Information
Reportedly, Uber's license in London was canceled last year
However, Sonam's comments stand contrary to several earlier reports that state that Uber was stripped off its license to operate in London back in November 2019. The transport authorities had cited a "pattern of failures" that had put the passengers at risk, for the ban.
Previous incident
Earlier, Sonam slammed British Airways for misplacing her luggage
Recently, Sonam had criticized the British Airways for losing her luggage for the second time in the same month. "This is the third time I've travelled with British Airways this month and the second time they've lost my bags. I think I've learnt my lesson. I'm never flying with British Airways again," she had tweeted on January 9. Thereafter, the British Airways apologized.
