Inox Leisure / Inoxmovies.com — rude and intolerable behavior of duty manager mr. arya.

I went for the 10.15 pm show to watch "secret superstar" at inox jodhpur, at royal ansal plaza. 10 minutes after the movie began, i was rudely spoken to by a person on duty to show my ticket with his torch shining in my face whilst standing on my feet. When i told him, "ek minute hatna bhaiya", he replied, "arre ticket dikha apni"! I told him that i was educated and was sitting on our own 2 seats along with my minor child. He continued to shine the torch in my face and talk to me in a bellowing voice until i got up and shifted 2 seats to save further embarrassment to myself as everyone was looking at us. I was made to move for a couple with a daughter, because they wanted to sit towards the corner, when on my right in the same row the whole row was completely empty. This is the topmost row just below the projector. After another 30 minutes, a couple from the front moved back and sat down next to us. This is normal behavior at inox, in spite of repeated complaints to the duty manager nothing is done about it. Then to make matters worse the woman kept talking on the phone on speaker to her children who were crying. I called the manager, he came after 15 minutes, and when he did, both these couples ganged up on me and told the manager, "isko hatao yaha sae, pehlae to humari seat par beth gayi, fir inlogo sae aesae baat kar rahi hae jaisae iske baap ka cinema hall hae. The man then told me, ki tu ek muslim aurat hokar akeli raat ko kar kya rahi hae ghar ke bahar." reality:1)- i was sitting on my own 2 seats. 2)- i had told the 2nd couple to not talk on the phone. 3)-i am not muslim. The duty manager asked me to leave the hall but because of 2 gentlemen from mumbai who interfered the situation got handled amicably by my again having to move seats, this time 8 rows down. Is this why we pay money, to be shouted at, humiliated and insulted.. We don't go to teach etiquettes to people, this is the job of the manager and the duty staff to see to it that rules are being adhered to. I know many other people who have had a problem here as well. The place is definitely not safe for wimen to go to without a man. It's pathetic that a woman should get treated like this, especially by your staff. Yes, i'm fair and i wear kajal, and am often mistaken to be a muslim, and i don't mind; but, to tell me that as a muslim woman i should not be out at night, that too at an amir khan movie, based on a muslim woman, to be treated in this shabby and disgusting manner is shameful and pathetic. Kindly note this complaint against mr. Arya and the other staff who stood on my feet and made me move seats for the convenience of this couple for no reason at all.
