Corona Effect! BMC Seals Shahid Kapoor’s Bandra Gym; Reprimands Him And Owner For Using it Despite Coronavirus Lockdown!

Interestingly, Shahid Kapoor had asked the paparazzi to wear a mask and take precautionary measures against the COVID-19 in a video that went viral a few days back. Looks like he forgot 'practice what you preach'!

A Bandra gym allowed entry to Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor and wife Mira Rajput on Sunday despite the state government's directives to shutdown gyms amid coronavirus scare in the country. Shahid and Mira visited an upscale gym in Mumbai, AntiGravity Club, on Sunday evening. According to reports in Mumbai Mirror the gym opened at 5.30 pm exclusively for the couple, who spent two hours there. The newspaper clicked Shahid working out in the VIP area, while Mira stayed in the general workout area. When the couple spotted the journalists, they exited through a different gate.

Meanwhile, The Bombay Municipal Corporation, on Monday, sealed the gym and reprimanded both Kapoor and gym owner Yudhishthir Jaising for ‘irresponsible behaviour’. Assistant Municipal Commissioner of H-West ward, Vinayak Vispute, said the BMC has written to Kapoor and Jaising, reprimanding them both for violating a health advisory issued by the state government and posing a risk to public safety. Vispute said, “It was wrong on the part of the gym to remain open, even for one patron. If gymnasiums don’t follow state directives, they will be booked under relevant sections and licenses will be revoked.”
