Bravo @Ra_THORe #HumFitTohIndiaFit #FitnessChallenge this is how I commute to my office everyday. sitting static in a car is such a waste. Walk, cycle, jog, feel the earth, feel India 🇮🇳 get FIT!”

Hrithik began to face nasty trolling by users who reminded him that he wasn’t wearing a helmet and throwing his and others safety out of window by recording his bike-ride while on the road.
Please wear a helmet while biking too and do not use mobile phone while cycling on busy streets of mumbai….

One such user even tagged Mumbai Police asking it to take action against Hrithik for the gtraffic rule violation. The user wrote, “This is called violation of traffic rules. @MumbaiPolice what you are going to do now? @iHrithik you should have done it in open ground rather than on busy road.”

Mumbai Police quickly responded, “Please share the location details for us to inform the concerned traffic division.”
As part of the fitness challenge, among those who have posted their videos are Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli and actor Tiger Shroff.
It shows how dumb journalists are. There is no HELMET RULE for Cycles in India. U are just targeting Hrithik bcoz he participated in Modi’s campaign. That too bcoz he was tagged and he genuinely believes in Fitness.
