Watch: Mrunal Thakur Takes Auto To Beat Mumbai Traffic, Wins Praise Online
Mrunal Thakur won hearts as she opted for an auto-rickshaw ride in Mumbai ahead of ‘Do Deewane Seher Mein’ release.
In the glitzy world of Bollywood, where private jets and swanky SUVs are the norm, it’s always a refreshing and sweet moment to see celebrities embracing the ordinary life. Mumbai, a city known for its relentless pace and exhausting traffic, often humbles even the biggest stars, forcing them to ditch their luxury rides for something more practical. Recently, the internet was treated to a delightful sight as Mrunal Thakur, gearing up for the release of her upcoming film ‘Do Deewane Seher Mein’, was spotted taking an auto-rickshaw ride through the streets of Mumbai.
Dressed for comfort yet radiating her signature effortless style, Mrunal was seen sporting a grey oversized sweatshirt paired with crisp white baggy pants and white sneakers. To complete the look, she wore a pair of dark sunglasses and carried a trendy lavender quilted handbag. Despite her stardom, she looked every bit like a local Mumbaikar trying to beat the city’s infamous gridlock.

The video captured the ‘Sita Ramam’ actress gracefully hopping into the black-and-yellow rickshaw. Far from being bothered by the lack of air conditioning or the dust of the city, Mrunal seemed to be in high spirits. As the paparazzi followed her, she was seen smiling brightly, waving at the cameras while settling into her seat.
It’s not every day you see a leading lady of Bollywood navigating the narrow lanes of the city in a three-wheeler. As the auto pulled away, Mrunal continued to wave and interact with those around her, proving once again why she is considered one of the most grounded and relatable actresses in the industry today.
In the background of the video, eagle-eyed fans spotted landmarks like Zah Salon, suggesting the actress might have been heading to or from a pampering session when she decided to take the auto ride.
Soon after the video surfaced online, several social media users reacted to it. One user wrote, “Most humble and grounded actress.”
Another one added, “Good dear.”
A third one commented, “I’m sure it’s not her first time, in Bombay that’s the most convenient mode of travel.”
Mrunal joined an elite list of Bollywood stars who have opted for public transport to save time. Whether it was Varun Dhawan making headlines for his stunts in the Mumbai Metro or veterans like Hema Malini encouraging fellow actors to use the metro to avoid traffic, the shift towards public commuting is becoming a frequent and welcomed sight.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Mrunal Thakur is busier than ever. She is currently gearing up for the release of the romance-drama ‘Do Deewane Seher Mein’ alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi, hitting theatres on February 20, 2026. Additionally, she has been in the news for her pregnant look in the BTS clips of ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’, where she stars opposite Varun Dhawan.
