Noted author and social worker Sudha Murty will soon feature on the popular ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ and Sony TV released a promo of the episode on social media. During the promo, Sudha Murty shared one past experience when someone called her 'cattle-class' at an airport.

"Chaar paanch saal pehle mein salwar kameez pehni thi aur business class ka ticket tha mere paas. Mein us queue mein khadi thi, toh unko laga ki salwaar kameez pehen liya toh didi he, behenji he... Aare cattle-class log he. Unko kya pata he economy ke logo ko business class mein ane.. Mein jaake unko puch liya, ki what is 'cattle-class'?" (Around 4-5 years ago, I had worn a salwar kameez and was standing on the business class queue, so they thought I am poor and told, 'Oh they are cattle-class people. How will they know what is business class? So I went up to them and asked 'What is cattle-class?), Sudha Murty said when Archana Puran Singh asked her about the details of the incident. 

The Padma Bhushan awardee further added that someone's class is not defined by money but by their deeds. Sudha Murty also cited the examples of Manjul Bhargav, and Mother Teresa who are the real definitions of “class" for their contributions to society.

"Class maane apni kaam mein shraddha rakhe aur accha kaam karte he na woh class log hote he. Paise mein nahi he, ki economy class maane kam class," she concluded. (Class is defined by how much respect you give to your work and how well you do it. It is not related to money.)
