Actor Nadia Jamil, who recently defeated breast cancer after battling the disease for a year, has complained about the British Airways staff after experiencing a mistreatment post-flight.
In a series of tweets, Nadia explained how she was taken off the flight and was told by the airline’s staff to go home. She also shared how she had never felt so “humiliated, intimidated and helpless” in her life, Tribune reported.
Jamil said the airline’s staff left her sleeping alone in a terminal of the Heathrow Airport in London, despite knowing that she was wheelchair-bound and was unable to carry herself and her luggage.
“It takes a lot to drain positivity out of me @British_Airways,” she tweeted. “I’ve never been so intimidated, humiliated and helpless in my life. Your staff left me sleeping alone on terminal 5. How did you expect me to wheelchair myself and 3 suitcases back to Cambridge from Heathrow? Kindness counts!”

Following this, the actor also shared a video to show her fans how she had in fact been abandoned. “My nose is red because I’ve been howling and crying,” she said.
“This is British Airways, that’s my luggage, here’s my wheelchair with no wheel, so I can’t even push it myself, no attendant, no one to help me, they all just walked off, leaving me,” she continued.
“Shocking! I came to the airport at 6:30pm, 11pm this is me; drained and alone. I had informed the staff of my health. Why would they leave me like this? I kept speaking out for someone 2 help. Everyone ignored me after off-loading me. At least help me a little. Bad show.”
