#PawriNahiHoRahiHai: Vivek Oberoi joins meme-fest, pays fine for flouting rules

On Valentine's Day, Oberoi shared a short clip on social media, showing him riding a Harley-Davidson bike as his wife Priyanka sat in the pillion seat.

The duo zoomed past the streets of Mumbai, without wearing a mask and helmet, despite strict instructions from the administration.

Later, an FIR was registered against the actor under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Shockingly, the Oberois were also seen allowing a group of youngsters to take selfies with them that day. Ironically, a huge banner, endorsing COVID-19 safety protocols, was seen right behind them.

Social activist Binu Varghese had tweeted the video condemning Oberoi's irresponsible behavior.

He had also tagged Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and Mumbai Police after which the e-challan was issued.

In the latest development pertaining to the incident, Oberoi confirmed that he has been fined.

As he showed the e-challan issued to him, Oberoi said, "Yeh hum hain, yeh hamari bikes hai aur yeh hamari pawti kutt gayi hai (this is me, these are my bikes and this is the e-challan in my name)," copying the viral dialogue of a Pakistani female blogger.

To note, when his careless bike ride invited the ire of Mumbai Police, Oberoi had accepted his fault.

"Pyaar humein kis mod pe le aaya! Nikle they nayi bike par hum aur hamari jaan, bina helmet ke kat gaya chalaan!, (sic) " he had tweeted.

The actor had also urged everyone to follow safety protocols like wearing a mask and helmet.
