Mumbai police and Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja was engaged in small twitter row Friday after the cops, wrongly, criticised the actor's co-star Dulquer Salmaan for "trying stunt while driving".
Sonam had posted a video clip from a film shoot on Twitter showing Salmaan in the driver's seat of a car. His hands are seen fiddling with a mobile phone as the car seems to be moving.
Sonam is heard calling him "weirdo" Mumbai Police posted the clip on their Twitter handle and wrote, "We agree with you @sonamakapoor ! Quite a `weirdo' to try such stunts while driving and putting the lives of fellow drivers at risk too! We don't quite approve of these even in `reel' life. This drew much flak for the actors from twitterati. Sonam then stepped in to clarify that Salmaan was not actually driving the car. "We weren't driving we were rigged on a truck... but I'm glad you guys are concerned," she tweeted. "I hope and I know you show the same interest in regular folk as well! Thanks for taking care! #Reelvsreal," she added tagging her co-star. The police responded by saying, "For us, No Mumbaikar is `regular' they are all `special'! And we are equally concerned about them all.
Glad to know your safety wasn't `rigged." Dulquer Salmaan also clarified that it was not a stunt. "Would appreciate it if you had checked some facts before tweeting this. In fact, @MumbaiPolice helped us with permissions and traffic management during the shoot and were present the whole time," he tweeted. "We appreciate that you weren't indulging in any irresponsible violation. A good example for all your fans @dulQuer," police replied.
