On Friday, Soni took to Instagram to post a couple of videos and photos from her recent trip to Cuffe Parade using the Aqua Line. In one of the clips, she was seen walking along the passage leading to the platform and waving at the camera. She also shared a selfie from inside the metro, posing with a friend while seated in the coach. Interestingly, fellow passengers appeared unaware of her presence and did not recognise the actor, allowing Soni to enjoy the ride like any regular commuter quietly.
Along with the photos and videos, she also shared her review of the experience, revealing she was impressed by the ease and cleanliness of the metro. She wrote, “Just soooo impressed with the Metro Aqua Line! Spanking clean, cool, efficient and well, just wow. Went all the way from T1 to Cuffe Parade in a jiffy. This may have been my first trip but it won’t be my last!”
The Aqua line is Mumbai Metro’s first underground line. It has 27 stations and runs from Cudde Parade in South of Mumbai to Aarey JVLR in nrth centre.
