'Irresponsible': Trolls target Hrithik Roshan for taking up Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore’s fitness challenge

Hrithik Roshan boasts of fittest bodies in b-town and even his parents Rakesh Roshan and Pinkie Roshan are also into gymming regularly. So, when Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore’s nominated the actor, cricketer Virat Kohli and badminton player Saina Nehwal on Twitter to join a social media campaign to encourage people to stay fit, Hrithik was glad to be a part of it.

The actor with the intention of motivating his fans took to the streets of Mumbai and recorded a selfie video of himself riding a bicycle and passing through the busy streets. He captioned the video as “This initiative makes me so proud! Bravo. #HumFitTohIndiaFit #FitnessChallenge this is how I commute to my office every day. Sitting static in a car is such a waste. Walk, cycle, jog, feel the earth, feel India get FIT!” [sic] Hrithik wrote. He further nominated his parents Rakesh and Pinkie Roshan, actors Tiger Shroff and Kunal Kapoor to take up the challenge.

But soon trolled cropped up on his timeline to remind him it's unsafe to ride a bicycle without a helmet and to use a mobile phone while riding it as well. Trolls have even informed Mumbai police about the Hrithik Roshan's cycle ride. Some even mocked at environmental issues, electronic cycle, etc.

Here is what trolls had to say:

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!

When the environment is worse around you, even if you try to stay fit your health will still deteriorate.#BanSterliteSaveThoothukudi

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

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.
