Nithya
Menon
seems
to
be
in
trouble
as
she
was
caught
travelling
in
the
cockpit
area
of
Air
India's
Hyderabad-Bangalore
flight.
She
was
given
the
seat
of
the
observer
inside
the
cockpit.
Cockpit
or
flight
deck
is
the
area,
which
is
usually
near
the
front
of
the
aircraft,
from
where
a
pilot
controls
the
flight.
It
contains
flight
instruments
on
an
instrument
panel
and
the
controls
that
enable
the
pilot
to
fly
the
aircraft.
In
most
airliners,
a
door
separates
the
cockpit
from
the
passenger
compartment.
Nithya
Menon
was
made
to
sit
in
this
cockpit
area
by
two
pilots.
It
was
only
after
a
complaint
filed
by
one
of
the
passengers,
that
the
authorities
came
to
know
about
it.
No
action
is
reported
against
the
actress,
but
the
pilots
got
suspended.
Nithya
Menon
appeared
on
screen
for
the
first
time
as
a
child
artist
when
she
was
ten,
in
an
Indian
English
film,
The
Monkey
Who
Knew
Too
Much.
The
2008
off-beat
film
Aakasha
Gopuram,
directed
by
National
Film
Award-winning
director
KP
Kumaran,
marked
her
debut
in
a
leading
role,
in
which
she
was
paired
with
Mohanlal.
Her
last
release
was
Usthad
Hotel
opposite
Dulquar
Salman.
