Pratik’s followers expressed their support for the actor while many shared their own experience with traffic. One person wrote, “Har Baar ‘Risk Hain Toh Ishq Hain', nahin hota Mota Bhai, (Taking a risk is not the right thing to do every time)” and Pratik responded, “Bhai Koi risk nahi sirf kaam pe jaa raha tha (I wasn’t taking any risk, I was just going to work).”

Some people also theorised that the traffic and security detail at WEH could have been due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Mumbai.
One follower also shared a traffic advisory shared by the Mumbai Traffic Police on Saturday (23 April) that read, “Due to VIP movement Traffic may be slow on Western Express Highway at Santacruz towards Dharavi, Matunga between 3-9 PM on dt 24-04-2022. Mumbaikars are requested to avoid using this route and use alternative routes. #MTPTrafficUpdate.”
