Mumbai local train are the lifeline to millions of people. They provide hassle free, timely commute and help to avoid the road traffic altogether. And India being a religion-centric country, the roads are often blocked due to one festival or the other.
Which is why actor Anil Kapoor decided to board a Mumbai local train so that he could reach his home faster with wife Sunita, and avoid the Ganpati traffic on the roads of Mumbai. He even managed to click a selfie with some RPF cops.
You have already seen Anil Kapoor in the rough and tough role in 24 flaunting his fitness in action sequences on screen. So, what would you expect from Anil Kapoor when it comes to avoiding the traffic during Ganpati Visarjan? Probably, flying a chopper or carrying out some other stunt to get to his home. But, when it comes to real life the actor chose local train to travel to his home, playing it safe.
Anil not only travelled by the local train but also suggested how it was the best possible way to get home fast. In a series of tweets, the actor surprised his fans with his common man avatar. Anil shared, “Avoiding the visarjan traffic & earning brownie points for getting home on time with the wife! #GanpatiBappaMorya.”

Earlier the actor was seen chanting Ganpati Bappa Morya Pudha Warshi Lawkar Ya while carrying Ganesh idol on the streets. He also performed aarti before the immersion procession. Later in the day, Anil along with son Harshvardhan bid adieu to Lord Ganesha.
This shows that even our actors are not larger than life and can take the easy route home like other people also!
