Sohail Khan apologises for riding a bike without a helmet.

Salman Khan’s brother, actor-producer Sohail Khan made headlines after a video surfaced online showing him riding a bike through the streets of Bandra without wearing a helmet. Following criticism for violating traffic safety rules, Sohail took to social media to address the issue.

In the post, Sohail apologised for the lapse and urged fellow riders to wear helmets while riding. He also explained the reason for not wearing one.

He added, “It began with BMX cycles and now i ride bikes. I mostly ride late night when there is not much traffic to cut risks that too at a slow pace and with my car following me. I assure fellow riders that i will make a genuine effort to overcome my claustrophobia and wear a helmet so please bear with me.”

“My sincere apologies to the traffic authorities and i assure them that i will follow all the rules henceforth. I salute 🫡 all the riders for wearing their helmets at all times despite the discomfort as it is necessary for our safety. It is better to be safe than sorry. Once again I am really sorry 🙏🏻,” Sohail concluded.
