Akshay Kumar tried to maintain a low-key presence and was spotted sporting an all-black ensemble, white trainers, and a matching cap. In addition, he chose to hide his face with a mask. He may also have seen conversing with producer Dinesh Vijan in the video.
Multiple social media users reacted to the video of him in the metro. One of the users commented on the post, “Highest-paid actor, Asia’s biggest action hero, but still padma shri Akshay Kumar chose to travel by Mumbai Metro. His simplicity is a refreshing standout in the glitzy world of Bollywood.”
While another person said, “Akshay Kumar sir is so down to earth by choosing to travel through metro and not being stuck in Mumbai traffic.” This is not the first time that Akshay Kumar has been spotted using the metro. He was seen conversing with passengers in February of last year.
At the time, he and his co-star Emraan Hashmi were promoting their movie Selfiee. That time, the celebrities entered a recently opened Mumbai Metro station accompanied by their security. Soon, both of them were joined by a flash mob and they rose up from their seats to dance along with them to their song Main Khiladi.
Earlier, actor-politician Hema Malini was seen travelling by metro. At the time, she shared multiple pictures, and videos of her commute. She said that it took two hours for her to reach Dahisar, a suburb of Mumbai, by car. So, she decided to take the metro instead later and reached her destination.
