Actor Sonali Kulkarni found herself stuck in a long traffic jam on the Mumbai-Pune route and shared her experience through a video on social media.

'Completely Stuck': Kulkarni's Video from the Jam

In the video, Sonali spoke about being "stuck" for hours with no movement on the road. Describing the situation as "really bad" and "scary," she said that vehicles were not moving at all and there was no clear update on when the jam would clear. "It's been exactly 5 hours, 5 hours that we are stuck here. I am going towards Pune. You can see the traffic behind me and ahead of me, there. We called the traffic control team. They are saying that have patience. The jam is really bad. And they are not sure when the jam will get resolved," she said in the video.

"We can't cross. We are completely stuck because we can't turn back either. Pray for us. Police, please if you know anything. If you can come from the other side and let us know. If you can help us or give us an update. Please let us know. We can't say that we are hungry. I know people must have gone through much terrible scenario than us. But this is scary. 5 hours at just one position," she added.
