Mumbai Police has initiated action against actor Amitabh Bachchan and Anushka Sharma for not wearing helmets after receiving complaints from social media users. While Amitabh took a lift from a fan to reach his work location on Monday, Anushka Sharma was seen on a bike with her bodyguard and in both the cases, neither their riders nor them were seen wearing helmets.
Amitabh Bachchan took to Instagram and thanked the rider while posting a photo of himself taking a bike ride with a person. He wrote, "Thank you for the ride buddy .. don’t know you .. but you obliged and got me on time to location of work .. faster and in avoidance of the unsolvable traffic jams .. thank you capped, shorts and yellowed T-shirt owner."
A user on Twitter tagged Mumbai Police and wrote, “Missing helmets for both rider and pillion. @MumbaiPolice please take note!”
