Hrithik faces backlash for fitness video

The actor was slammed on social media for filming while cycling

Hrithik Roshan took up Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on his fitness challenge and posted a video where the actor can be seen cycling while filming the video. Hrihik wrote, “This initiative makes me so proud ! Bravo @Ra_THORe #Hum Fit T oh India Fit# Fitness Challenge 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!”

Needless to say, the whole scenario is not sitting well with the social media. Many users have called out the Krrish actor on being irresponsible for filming while riding a bicycle.

A user condemned the actor and wrote, “Irresponsible example to be shooting video while cycling, so many selfie deaths are a case in point @iHrithik”.

One user even tagged Mumbai Police and 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”.

Another fan posted, “Appreciate your intent. But riding a cycle without a Helmet, shooting a video through mobile is way too callous & a risk uncalled for...” One user urged Hrithik to be more careful and wrote, “Please wear a helmet while biking too and do not use mobile phone while cycling on busy streets of mumbai .... ”

The challenge was started by Rathore, under the hashtag Hum Fit T oh India Fit, in a bid to promote fitness and healthy lifestyle among Indians.
