Vivek Oberoi says, 'bina helmet ke kat gaya chalaan' after bike video goes viral

A First Information Report (FIR) was registered against Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi on Friday for not using a mask after he shared a video of a ride on a motorbike with his wife on Valentine's Day. Reacting to this and also being penalized for not wearing a helmet, Vivek took to his Twitter handle and wrote the popular song like, "Pyaar humein kis mod pe le aaya!" from the movie Satte Pe Satta (1982).

He wrote, "Had left to ride the new bike with my wife, got fined for riding without a helmet. Mumbai police will do a checkmate! Thank u @mumbaipolice for making me realize that safety is always most important. Be safe, wear a helmet & a mask," Oberoi wrote.

With coronavirus cases again rising in Maharashtra, the city administration had warned on Thursday to prosecute those who violate the mandatory mask rule. The case was registered against the actor at Juhu Police Station, an official said.
