Actor Allu Arjun, who was invited as the chief guest for an awareness session of Hyderabad Traffic Police, has made an inspiring speech much to applause of crowd. Speaking at the event, Allu Arjun said that there are only two ways to maintain road discipline – 1. Strict Rules 2. Self-Realization.
“Although we have strict rules and tough laws, it would be difficult to enforce them in a country like India with huge population unlike Singapore which has relatively low population and difficult for law-breakers to get away from the punishment. So, the only option for us is Self-Realisation. It should come within ourselves that we should obey traffic rules. I know, it is easy to say and difficult to say. Today, am going to tell you where I got inspired from. I’ll just tell it in three simple lines,” Allu Arjun said to large gathering in the auditorium.
Bunny went onto narrate a story of his own experience where he had hit a car with his own car at the age of 19. ” I was 19. My friend and I had an argument on a topic in a coffee shop. Due to a small misunderstanding, she got angry on me and left the place taking her car. I was chasing her to explain that she mistook me. It was raining and I was driving fast. That’s when my car had hit a car in the front.
I saw it before and applied brakes but my car skidded and touched the car in the front. A middle-aged man was driving the car who got off the car and he looked quite angry. I went to him and said that it was totally my mistake and sought apology. I told him that I was complete responsible and would bare the entire expenses of the damage. He calmed down. Then I saw a lady in the back who got tears in her eyes.
She was carrying. Her anger turned into tears. I said sorry. I thanked God that nothing bad happened. Whenever I place my hands on the steering of my vehicle, this story comes to my mind. I tell you myself that not just my life, but even the lives of others are in my hands and I should drive carefully,” Allu Arjun narrated the road accident he did in his life and how it changed him forever.
The Sarrainodu actor said that he would never go in wrong way although he need to take a U-turn to his best friend’s house that is in the lane next to his Street. He said he had not agreed to go in wrong way even when his friends in the car had told him to go during the nights. Allu Arjun’s message to Sabhya Samajam has been a great hit.
On parting note, he said, “If you risk others lives on roads, that is not heroism.” Ace director SS Rajamouli was also present to share his gyan to people and make them aware on road discipline.
