A few days ago, pictures of actors Vicky Kaushal riding a motorbike on the streets of Indore with Sara Ali Khan riding pillion had gone viral. While fans were buzzing about the duo's chemistry and other film-related details, an Indore man found his bike's numberplate had been "illegally" used for the bike ridden by the actors. Now, the man has filed a complaint.
