New Delhi: Bollywood’s Greek god Hrithik Roshan gave an unexpected treat to his fans by making a surprise appearance on the Mumbai Metro rail on Friday.
The veteran actor, who is well known for staying active on his social media profiles, saved himself from Mumbai’s soaring heat and traffic jams in style by opting for an unconventional as well as environment-friendly mode of commute.
While Hrithik’s unexpected metro rain journey helped the actor beat Mumbai’s traffic and reach his destination on time, it also gave the passengers of the train a golden chance to interact and click some quick selfies with him.

This is so cool ❤️, we must encourage the use of public transport. People often associate a sense of class with using public transport, sometimes it can be a more convenient choice than driving your own car.

Hrithik is now gearing up for the release of his eagerly anticipated upcoming movie Fighter which will make it to the big screen a day prior to Republic Day 2024 on 25 January under the banner of Viacom 18 Studios.
