Reality of train travel getting worse: Amitabh Bachchan

One-word reply followed by a frowning smiley by veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan on twitter left people in a frenzy. Bachchan stated 'goodness' followed by an exclamation mark and a smiley replying to a video that showed hundreds of women struggling to board a suburban local train during peak hours.

The actor at around 2.35 pm replied to this tweet 'this is the reality of train travel in Mumbai. And its getting worse!' that also contained a 57 second video of several women jumping inside a moving train as it enters the platform. Due to the overcrowding on the platform, a lady apparently also fell in between the gap of the coach and platform while boarding.

Soon after he tweeted, there were hundreds of people who replied and responded to the apathy of lakhs of Mumbaikars travelling in local trains. Many also defended the railway authorities on grounds that the situation has improved over the years and that it is an old video. Railway officials also stated the same that the video is an old one and that people should refrain from spreading such rumours.
