Echoing the sentiment, rapper Karma shared,
“Friendship has always been the rhythm of my life. We’ve made memories everywhere—cafés, rooftops, road trips—but above the clouds? That’s something special. I’m ready for laughter, endless conversations, and music that connects us mid-air.”
Comedian Ravi Gupta summed it up with excitement,
“No script, no stage—just a bunch of yaars jamming thousands of feet in the air. It’s going to be one fun ride!”
