Anoushka Shankar`s sitar damaged

On Wednesday, taking to her Instagram, Shankar shared a video detailing the entire damage occurred in her instrument, "First, I was just looking at the top of my sitar and I thought it was like really out of tune. And after I tuned it, I picked it up to play, and that`s when I realised this was my first time flying Air India in a long time. The country this music belongs to. And this is the first time anything like this has happened to my instrument in 15 or 17 years. How have you done this? I have special cases. You guys charge a handling fee and yet you`ve done this," Anoushka said in the video.
