    Digital Desk: On Wednesday, Farah Khan, whose bio labelled her as a journalist, took a dig at the Narendra Modi-led BJP government, whose 2014 Lok Sabha election slogan was 'Acche Din Aane Wale Hain' (good days are on their way), stating "Kafi ache din aa gae hain" (Good days are here).

    Khan posted two photos, claiming to have spent $490 on two samosas, a cup of tea, and a water bottle at Mumbai's Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. "At Mumbai airport, two samosas, one chai, and one water bottle for 490!! "Kafi ache din aa gae hain," stated the caption. 

    Netzines reacted fast to the incident, and the comment section was filled, with many blaming the journalist for being unaware of the price of rice. 

    A user shared a news story on the price difference between airport rice and outside food "This is an FYI to read and understand why there is a price difference between the airport and the surrounding area. Also, whether it was a Modi or UPA government, the price difference was always the same... It is unfortunate that in the guise of journalism, we have individuals who pursue their own agenda ". 
    One person mentioned Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport as a low-cost example.

    Many, however, criticized the journalist for being unaware of the price hike.
