Gawkers have overtaken Juhu beach, causing starry residents of the nearby area much distress and discomfort. Crowds have been making it to the suburban shore to get an eyeful of the stranded cargo ship MV Wisdom since June 11. Sunday was particularly troublesome with commuters being stuck in traffic for hours. Actors travelling in and out of Juhu took to microblogging sites to voice their frustrations.
Some celebrities sent out text messages alerting others to stay away from Juhu and take other routes to travel. A source reveals, “All those returning home from shoots or wanting to go out on a Sunday night were stuck at home due to the situation at Juhu beach. It was just impossible for anyone to venture out.”
