Veteran Bollywood actress and Bharatiya Janata Party MP Hema Malini has expressed concern over the current situation of roads in Mumbai. Reportedly, while returning from a shoot recently, Hema had an unpleasant experience as it took her about two hours to reach her home.
While conversing with an online portal, the Sholay actor spoke at length about how worrisome the condition of the roads is in the capital city of Maharashtra. Drawing a comparison from cities such as New Delhi and her own constituency Mathura, she wondered whether Mumbai roads are safe enough.
“I just can’t imagine how a pregnant woman must be travelling on these roads that are full of potholes. My concern is that of a Mumbaikar and the job of the police is to control traffic and guide those travelling by road. Today I had a first-hand experience of it,” Hema told ETimes.
Further, she stressed how the condition of the roads has degraded substantially in recent times. “We have travelled so much on these roads for shootings, but now it is very difficult. Today’s experience makes me say, Mumbai kya tha kya ho gaya hai. I really get scared to go out since there is so much traffic and chaos. In places like Delhi and even Mathura, although there is still a lot of traffic, things have been streamlined now,” added Hema.
Meanwhile, the Dream Girl of Bollywood recently shot for a special episode of kids singing reality show Superstar Singer 2 along with her daughter Esha Deol. The mother-daughter are set to make their first appearance together on the Indian television.
Hosted by Aditya Narayan, Superstar Singer 2 has Himesh Reshammiya, Alka Yagnik and, Javed Ali as judges.
