What Happened In The Metro?

This clarification follows a brief social media exchange involving Mumbai Metro authorities. They previously shared a safety advisory referencing a viral video of Varun Dhawan inside a metro coach. The post has since been removed. The incident originated from Varun Dhawan’s recent outing when he chose to travel by Mumbai Metro to avoid traffic congestion while heading to a cinema hall for a surprise visit. He shared a playful Instagram story from inside the coach, inviting fans to guess his destination.

MMMOCL’s Message On VD’s Pull-Up Video

Shortly afterwards, social media videos surfaced showing the actor performing pull-ups on an overhead metal bar inside the metro, with fellow commuters watching. The clip quickly went viral. This prompted Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) to repost the video along with a safety message.

The advisory emphasised that grab handles and support bars are intended solely for passenger safety, not recreational use. They referenced provisions under the Metro Railways (Operations and Maintenance) Act, 2002, concerning nuisance or damage to public property.
