Last week, a video from Mumbai grabbed nationwide attention. A frustrated commuter stepped out of her car and confronted a minister in the middle of a political rally. The moment was raw, emotional, and relatable. Many people saw it as a voice of the common citizen stuck in everyday chaos. Now, the same woman, Teena Choudhry, has come forward with a clarification. In a detailed video statement, she has shared her side of the story and explained what actually happened after the viral confrontation. Her version adds important context to an incident that was widely discussed but not fully understood.
A Clarification After The Viral Storm
After the video went viral, Teena Choudhry received widespread attention and concern from people across social media. Many reached out to check on her safety and well-being. Addressing this, she reassured everyone that she was safe. “I have received so many messages regarding my safety. I want to let you know that I’m fine and I appreciate the concern,” she said.
Her clarification video was aimed at clearing misconceptions and presenting a complete picture of the incident. While the viral clip captured only a heated moment, her statement revealed what led to it and how the situation eventually unfolded.

Teena Choudhry explained that the incident took place on April 21. She was returning after dropping her daughter for a music class when she got stuck in heavy traffic near Mahindra Taj in Worli.
According to Teena Choudhry, the situation quickly became frustrating. She remained inside her car for nearly 25 minutes, hoping the traffic would move. However, when there was no progress, she decided to step out and understand the reason behind the gridlock.
“When the traffic did not move, I got out to find out what the problem was… I went to every single police officer there to request that if you get the two buses removed, people who are stuck, we can make a U-turn and join the main road,” she said.
Teena Choudhry claimed that she approached multiple police officials over the next one-and-a-half hours, requesting a simple solution to ease the congestion.

The video that went viral showed her visibly upset, raising her voice and demanding action. At one point, she was also seen throwing a bottle, which drew criticism from some viewers.
Teena Choudhry addressed this as well. She clarified that the act was not directed at any protester or individual. Instead, it was an attempt to grab attention in a situation where she felt unheard.
This clarification sheds light on how quickly moments can be interpreted without full context, especially in viral clips that capture only a few seconds of a longer situation.
Minister’s Role In Resolving The Issue
One of the most important points in her statement was her mention of Girish Mahajan. While the viral video showed a confrontation, her clarification paints a more balanced picture.
“Mr Mahajan was actually the only person in that rally who at least tried to listen to what I was saying,” she said.
According to Teena Choudhry, it was after his intervention that the situation began to improve. She stated that the minister instructed officials to remove the two buses that were blocking the road. This allowed stranded vehicles to take a U-turn and finally move forward.
This detail changes the narrative significantly. What appeared to be a one-sided confrontation was, in reality, followed by a resolution.
The Bigger Issue Of Traffic Disruptions
The incident also brings attention to a larger problem faced by urban commuters. Traffic disruptions caused by rallies, VIP movement, or public events are not uncommon in cities like Mumbai.
While such events are part of democratic expression, they often come at the cost of public convenience.
Teena Choudhry’s frustration resonated with many because it reflected a shared experience. Being stuck for long periods without clarity or communication can test anyone’s patience.
Minister’s Response After The Incident
Following the controversy, Girish Mahajan also responded publicly. He acknowledged the inconvenience caused and apologised for the situation.
“A woman walked up to me and appeared angry. It is evident she was upset with traffic congestion. I tried to pacify her and give her audience. I assured her that traffic problem would get resolved in 10 to 15 minutes,” he said.
He further added that such situations are not unique to Mumbai. “This is an issue not restricted to Mumbai alone. It has happened across country. About yesterday’s incident, there were several persons who were getting restless because of the traffic issue,”
His response highlights how such disruptions are often seen as unavoidable, even though they continue to affect daily life.
A Viral Moment With A Different Ending
What makes this story interesting is how it evolved. The viral video showed anger and confrontation. But the follow-up reveals communication and resolution.
It also shows how quickly narratives can form based on limited information. Social media amplifies moments. But real stories often have more layers.
Conclusion
Teena Choudhry’s clarification adds much-needed context to a widely discussed incident. It shows that while frustration led to a public confrontation, the situation was eventually addressed.
The episode highlights two important realities. One, the everyday challenges faced by commuters in crowded cities. And two, the importance of listening and responding to public concerns. In the end, this was not just about a viral moment. It was about a citizen trying to be heard, and a situation that found resolution after the noise settled.
