Traffic jams in Mumbai are a regular affair during the monsoon and if you are on your way to catch a flight, things can get messy. The latest celebrity to get a taste of the truth is singer and Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Babul Supriyo.

Not only did Supriyo take an auto-rickshaw to reach the airport, it seems like he thoroughly enjoyed his ride. He clicked a video and shared it on Twitter too. During the ride, he recalled his struggling days as a singer in the ‘90s.
