Actress Sonam Kapoor expressed surprise over Maharashtra's Transport Department issuing notices to commercial vehicle drivers for lacking Marathi language skills. On August 20, RTOs served warnings to 1,268 drivers, primarily autorickshaw and taxi drivers, for insufficient knowledge of Marathi. A day later, another 1,499 non-Marathi-speaking drivers received notices statewide.
Sonam Kapoor shared her reaction on Instagram, commenting "Huh" on a post about the Maharashtra State Transport Department's inspection in Mumbai. The Maharashtra Transport Minister announced drivers have up to four months to meet the language requirement, with a 30-day suspension for those who fail after receiving a notice. Continued non-compliance could lead to a permanent license cancellation.
Sonam Kapoor, along with husband Anand Ahuja, is parents to two sons, Vayu Kapoor Ahuja (born August 2022) and Rudralokh Kapoor Ahuja (born March 29, 2026).
