Actor Suhasini Maniratnam was in for a pleasant surprise when she boarded a train for a 900-km long arduous journey.

The National award-winning actor, 60, shared a number of photos from her ‘unexpected journey’ on Instagram with a raving review for a scrumptious but modestly priced plate of idli-vada.

“Unexpected journey. Just like life. 900 kms by train. Who ever thought that this 50 rs idly vada sold at Jolarpet junction will be so delicious. Jai Tamil Nadu. Jai Indian railways,” the caption to her post read.
