Monali is not the only one who has ever questioned the CUTE charge . There have been several incidents of social media users questioning this additional charge on their flight fares.

Note : A CUTE or Common User Terminal Equipment charge, in layman's language, is a passenger handling fee. It includes charges for the use of metal-detecting machines, escalators and other equipment at airports.

Here's how netizens reacted to the video:

Netizens got busy debating how the CUTE charge should've been more for Monali, considering how cute she is, and joked about how it'd be 0 for men.

“ ₹50 rate lagaya tumhari cuteness ka,” a user quipped.

“The way you're explaining plus that adorable giggling ! 'cute charge' should be more for you,” said a fan.

A user joked:“Saare ladke bach jaayenge Cute charge dene se.”
