Air India was quick to apologize her for this and they replied back with
Ma'am we have alerted the agency managing lounge at T3. Necessary corrective measures are being taken immediately. We deeply apologise for this incident.

A suggestion to Air India
For gods sake, why can’t they serve crispy roaches. They are an excellent Thai delicacy and very delicious. Of course I don’t recommend uncooked. pic.twitter.com/Mr5Fi3BBhX

Last year, something similar happened when a passenger complained about a cockroach that he spotted in his food on an Air India flight to Chicago. The passenger had shared an image of the same on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
