Rakul Preet Singh, the Bollywood actress, recently experienced a frustrating ordeal familiar to many Mumbai residents: being stuck in seemingly endless traffic. On June 12, 2025, she took to her Instagram Stories to share her exasperation with her followers, offering a glimpse into the city's notorious congestion.

Singh posted a snapshot of the long queue of vehicles, illustrating the standstill. Her caption read, "Never been stuck in such a traffic jam in my life... what's happening Mumbai? One hour and we haven't moved an inch." The actress did not specify her location or destination when she was ensnared in the traffic. Her post resonated with many of her fans and followers who also have experienced similar situations.

Ironically, just hours before her traffic woes, Singh had shared a moment of tranquility and wellness with her fans. She posted a video of herself walking barefoot in a garden, advocating the practice of "grounding" or connecting with nature. In her post, she encouraged her followers to find a garden and walk barefoot at least once a week to experience the numerous benefits of connecting with nature. "Grounding or walking bare feet has many, many benefits... try and find yourself a garden to do so at least once a week. #ConnectWithNature," she wrote. The contrast between her serene morning activity and her frustrating evening commute highlights the dichotomies of urban life in a bustling metropolis like Mumbai.

On the professional front, the 34-year-old actress is preparing for the release of her upcoming film, "De De Pyaar De 2," a romantic comedy and sequel to the 2019 hit. Singh will reprise her role as Ayesha Khurana, alongside Ajay Devgn, who returns as Ashish Mehra. The sequel also introduces R. Madhavan as Dev Khurana, Ayesha's father, adding a new dynamic to the storyline. The movie, directed by Anshul Sharma, also brings back Tabu, Jimmy Shergill, Alok Nath, and Inayat Sood from the original cast. Tamannaah Bhatia and Prakash Raj are slated to make special appearances. "De De Pyaar De 2" is scheduled to hit theaters on November 14.

Prior to "De De Pyaar De 2," Rakul Preet Singh was last seen in "Mere Husband Ki Biwi," a romantic comedy film that was written and directed by Mudassar Aziz. The film, which also starred Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar, was released earlier this year.

Singh's recent Instagram posts offer a glimpse into her daily life, showcasing both the challenges and moments of peace that come with living and working in Mumbai. Her experience with the city's traffic is a relatable situation of many Mumbaikars.
