Amitabh Bachchan takes lift from fan to reach work location amid ‘unsolvable traffic jams’

Author: Web Desk

Actor Amitabh Bachchan recently took a fan’s assistance to get to his place of employment and praised him in a new post. Amitabh posted a picture of him riding a bike with someone on Instagram on Sunday. He was seen traveling as the passenger while donning a brown coat, blue trousers and a black T-shirt. White trainers helped Amitabh complete his outfit.

Sharing the photo, Amitabh captioned the post, “Thank you for the ride buddy .. don’t know you .. but you obliged and got me on time to location of work .. faster and in avoidance of the unsolvable traffic jams .. thank you capped, shorts and yellowed T-shirt owner.”

Reacting to the post, Amitabh’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda posted laughing and red heart emojis. Rohit Bose Roy commented, “You are the cooooolest dude on earth Amit ji! Love you.” Sayani Gupta said, “Had always heard Mr Bachchan @amitabhbachchan has always been the most punctual! Can see today what honouring Time truly means to you! I hope actors can learn a thing or two from this!”

“You hitched a ride from a stranger hahaha,” a social media user commented. A few fans also pointed out that neither of them wore helmets. A person said, “Both not wearing helmets.” A comment read, “Dear sir how about wearing a helmet? Doesn’t safety take precedence in comparison to the urgency of reaching your workplace?” “Please wear a helmet,” wrote an Instagram user.

Taking to his blog, Amitabh shared several more pictures. He wrote, “Sunday permissions are given to specific regions which can be blocked off for the work we do .. and this is work and the well-wishers after work ..ride on the bike and the driving enthusiasm never does run away.”

He also added, “But now .. caution and care and above all regulatory lives .. Part of living .. many a time there is desire to take over the vehicle and drive it to work .. for the way and the method the carrier drives is of concern .. is of the breaking of regulations .. is the unknown factor of how did they get these driving licenses, when their basic skills are challenged .. no helmet, no regulation or discipline to adhere and respect traffic signals .. blatantly disregarding them and giving a damn to the law or the rules. The frustrating turns to anger and often is the urge to get out of the car and give them a telling .. but the obvious restraints prevent it.”
