Actor Amitabh Bachchan created waves on social media for posting a photo of himself riding pillion on a stranger’s motorcycle to reach his shooting location. The legendary star said that the man dropped him to the location on time, saving time during peak Mumbai traffic. A day later, Anushka Sharma too was seen taking a bike ride with her bodyguard after a roadblock. But both the photos were slammed by social media users, who asked by these stars were not wearing helmets.
“Where is the helmet sir,” one fan asked. “Computer ji challan online challan kar do jaldi sa without helmet ka (Computer ji, fine them for riding with a helmet),” one fan wrote, making a pun on Big B’s trademark line from Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Some users also tagged the Mumbai Traffic Police. The force responded these users asking for the location for “further action”.
The police force also said, “We have shared this with the traffic branch.”
हम आपसे आगे की कार्रवाई के लिए सटीक स्थान विवरण प्रदान करने का अनुरोध करते हैं।
