Mumbai:

Amrita Fadnavis, wife of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, says Mumbai's traffic is the reason for three per cent divorces in the city.

She was talking to reporters about the condition of roads and traffic when she made the bizarre claim.

Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi took a dig at Amrita Fadnavis's statement without naming her.

Chaturvedi was one of the many social media users who have ridiculed Amrita Fadnavis's statement. 

Amrita Fadnavis said, "Did you know that three per cent of divorces in Mumbai are due to traffic jams because people are unable to give time to their families?"

He also said that he is personally troubled by the potholes on the roads and getting stuck in the traffic.

He said, 'Forget that I am the wife of Devendra Fadnavis.

I am talking to you as a woman.

I have experienced potholes and traffic on the roads and how they trouble us.'


Priyanka Chaturvedi mocked the wife of the former chief minister and jokingly said that families in Bengaluru should refrain from reading about the claim.

Best (il)logic of the day award goes to the lady who claims 3% Mumbaikars are divorcing due to traffic on roads.

Please take a holiday break rather than having a mind on brake..
