“Dear ‘Singham’, Just doing what ‘Khakee’ is supposed to do"
The Mumbai Police has been creating a buzz on social media with its humorous and witty replies to Bollywood celebrities’ gratitude posts.
Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt recently thanked the Mumbai Police for their hard work and effort during the lockdown in India. Taking to Twitter, Alia said:
“Thank you @MumbaiPolice. Words cannot express our love and gratitude. Let’s stay home for them. #TakingOnCorona.”
In response to Alia’s tweet, the Mumbai Police replied with an entertaining tweet which included the actress’ performances in Gully Boy (2019) and Dear Zindagi (2016). It read:
“Mumbaikars, we hope you are all ‘Raazi’ with this advise of Ms @aliaa08 to not venture out in any ‘Gully’ unnecessarily and take care of ‘Dear Zindagi’ for all!”

Other Twitter users also chimed in with the fun. Rohan tweeted:
“Nowadays, if people not “raazi” & still going out on the “highway” & crossing “2 states”, then they are “kalank” …. guys, we know its “ae dil hai mushkil” to be lockdown, still be “shandaar” in home only.”
Another user named JustAnotherHappyGuy joined in saying, “Hoping that soon travelling between “2 States” would be possible.”
In another instance, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn praised the Mumbai Police for their dedication amid the coronavirus lockdown.
He said: “#TakingOnCorona @MumbaiPolice.”
The Mumbai Police hilariously replied to Ajay Devgn’s tweet saying:
“Dear ‘Singham’, Just doing what ‘Khakee’ is supposed to do to ensure that things return to how they were – ‘Once upon a time in Mumbai’! #TakingOnCorona.”
