Sonali took to social media to share her ordeal, raising alarm over the conditions and the sheer unpredictability of the situation.

The actor also shared that when she reached out to the traffic control team for assistance, she was simply asked to remain patient.
In the video, Sonali said, “Hi, I am here on Mankhurd bridge. It’s been exactly five hours that we are stuck here. I am going towards Pune. You can see the traffic behind me and ahead of me. We called the traffic control team; they are saying to have patience."
“The jam is really bad and they are not sure when it will get resolved. We can’t cross. We are completely stuck because we can’t turn back either. Pray for us. Police, if you know anything or can come from the other side and give us an update, then please do. We can’t even say we are hungry, it’s beyond that. I know people must have gone through much worse situations than us, but this is scary, five hours at just one position,” she added.
