/> "It was like one of those delayed reactions. Only now I realize how close I was to death," Kangana trembles at the memory.

On Monday morning Kangana and a host of Bollywood's dignitaries including Shiamak Davar and his dance troupe were aboard a flight bringing them back from Yorkshire and the IFFA film festival.

Shudders Kangana, "The flight back to Mumbai was via Delhi. We landed in Delhi in the morning. Immediately after take- off from Mumbai the aircraft started to act funny, and it was brought back to Delhi. We were told to disembark. But nobody was in the mood.

Look, we had all been out of the country at a hectic event, performing, giving and receing awards, sightseeing, dancing. Everyone just wanted to get home. I had my sister Rangoli waiting for me. I badly wanted to see her."

After all the passengers were forced to disembark some of the Bollywood passengers, for instance Mrs Pehal Nihalani objected strongly.

Says Kangana, "After four hours of delay we were finally put back on the same aircraft and brought to Mumbai....the funniest thing was even when I was on the way to Yokshire our flight got delayed because of a snag. I wonder if I carry snags with me when I fly," she jokes.

Kangana had herself a ball in in Yorkshire. She's back to a truck load of rumours. "I'm supposed to have bad-mouthed Aamir Khan and I'm supposed to be seeing an Akshay from the industry. Will someone tell me if it's Akshaye Khanna or Akshay Kumar? I find both very hot."
