Staying in the Western Suburbs of Mumbai means your main mode of travelling is the Mumbai local but imagine living a little farther away. Yep, I’m talking about Virar! Now, every Mumbaikar knows what happens you get onto a Virar local, hai na? That’s precisely why we avoid Virar trains like plague and to have a friend living in Virar, matlab it’s a long-distance friendship! And that’s exactly what happened with Funcho. In the latest episode of Yeh Ladki Pagal Hai, content creators Dhruv and Shyam, popularly known as Funcho on social media, opened up about living in Virar and travelling in the Mumbai local.
In the crazy episode 28 of Yeh Ladki Pagal Hai with Pavni Mehrotra, creator duo Dhruv Shah and Shyam Sharma shared some interesting anecdotes about being from Virar and travelling in Mumbai local. The duo revealed that they met in college during a festival and became friends and started traveling together when they realised that they both live in Virar. When asked about how they make videos on the local train for their account popularly known as Funcho, the duo shared that “local train toh humare khoon mein daudta hai” (local train runs in our blood).

The content creators shared that they know when the trains are crowded and when they’re not and when is the best time to shoot. They shared that when one lives in Virar, they know the “Math” and know what time and which station will be crowded and which one won’t. Speaking further, the creators of Funcho also opened up about how they only have long distance friendships with people that are limited to texting because it’s tough to travel and meet people when they live in a place as far as Virar. “People tell us come to Bandra to chill and I tell them to come to Virar and they ask ‘Virar mein kya chill karenge’ and I tell them exactly why we’re not coming because we have to travel nearly 2 hours,” said Shyam Sharma.
