Hrithik Roshan has been a spokesperson for a healthy and fit lifestyle for quite some time now. So when our sports minister Rajyavardhan Rathore chose the star to take up a fitness challenge it was no surprise to anyone. But looks like things have taken an unpleasant turn.
Earlier this week, the sports minister had started the #HumFitTohIndiaFit challenge through a tweet with a video of him doing push-ups and tagged celebrities like Virat Kohli, Saina Nehwal, and Hrithik to join in and take the movement forward.
Hrithik took up the challenge and tweeted out a video of him cycling through the streets of Mumbai and applauded Mr.Rathore for starting such an initiative.
This initiative makes me so proud ! 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! pic.twitter.com/twoI1vna9c

He even went on to challenge his parents and his friends, Tiger Shroff and Kunal Kapoor to take up the challenge.
And on that note , I challenge my family @roshanpinkie @RakeshRoshan_N (since it all starts at home) and my friends @iTIGERSHROFF and @kapoorkkunal to inspire people to be the best version of themselves ! #KeepGoing #HumFitTohIndiaFit

While Hrithik’s intentions may have just been to motivate his fans, he is seen breaking important traffic rules in his video and the internet did not keep quiet about it. He was immediately called out for it and even the Mumbai Police replied to a tweet.
Please share the location details for us to inform the concerned traffic division.

But as trolls go, they got worse and started seeing beyond the point of the whole challenge and mocked the actor mercilessly.
When the environment is worse around you, even if you try to stay fit your health will still deteriorate.#BanSterliteSaveThoothukudi

Are you kidding? There are no proper cycle lanes: motorists, buses, rickshaws & motor bikes having no road disciplines: potholes are common: no proper maintenance of roads: daily road accidents! Daily traffic problems! Just driving once on the roads: does not make any sense!

It’s easy for celebrities because of their life style and free Leisure time.
There are people who are struggling daily inorder to meet their daily needs and wants and are really stressful. Mostly they may try for 1 week to follow this initiative and later will naturally forget it— TweetsKing (@ExaltedTweets) May 23, 2018

Oops, we hope Hrithik is a little more careful the next time!
