Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma was recently seen ditching her comfy car ride and travelling by a bike instead after a fallen tree blocked her path and she was getting late to work. The actress was seen riding pillion with her bodyguard and the two zoomed off to beat the city's traffic.
However, as soon as the video went viral, netizens slammed the actress for flouting a major traffic rule of the city and not wearing helmet.
The Mumbai Police then took notice of the same and promised that action will be taken against the actress and her bodyguard for riding the two-wheeler without helmets.
