Mumbai’s Irla Road has undergone a jaw-dropping makeover, leaving BJP MP and film legend Hema Malini beaming with joy. The actress-turned-politician documented her astonishment on Instagram Thursday, posting pics of the revamped street and questioning her driver about the route amid the unfamiliar cleanliness.
Footpath encroachments have vanished, shop facades gleam, and commuters relish obstruction-free paths. ‘Irla is totally changed for the better,’ gushed Malini, hailing BJP MLA Amit Satam’s commitment. His recent elevation to BJP Mumbai president role amplifies his influence for more such projects.
A fixture in Parliament from Mathura since her 2014 BJP entry, Malini champions infrastructure via social platforms. Known as ‘Dream Girl’ for iconic roles in Sholay, Dream Girl, and Baghban, she shares her screen life with spouse Dharmendra and daughters Esha and Ahana.
Optimistic about continuity, Malini stressed ongoing care to preserve the upgrades. In a city notorious for decay, Irla’s turnaround showcases grassroots efficacy, fueling demands for citywide replication. Her viral post spotlights how celebrity voices can spotlight and accelerate public good.
