The Mumbai Police called out Sonam Kapoor and Dulquer Salmaan on Twitter after a scene from an upcoming film starring the two actors got their attention. Unfortunately, it turned out that the police had got things wrong. The clip shows Salmaan sitting in the driver's seat of a moving car, but his hands aren't on the steering wheel. He's instead seen using his mobile phone while the car seems to be moving. The clip from their upcoming film, 'The Zoya Factor' showed Salmaan going through his phone and Kapoor calling him a 'weirdo' in the background. In its tweet, the Mumbai Police 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. #NotDone" 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. #NotDone pic.twitter.com/WWoDz16hKj — Mumbai Police (@MumbaiPolice) December 14, 2018 The tweet got many talking and Kapoor soon stepped in to explain things weren't what they seemed. "We weren’t driving we were rigged on a truck.. but I’m glad you guys are concerned.." she wrote in her clarification. "I hope and I know you show the same interest in regular folk as well! Thanks for taking care! #Reelvsreal," she further added tagging her co-star from the film. We weren’t driving we were rigged on a truck.. but I’m glad you guys are concerned.. I hope and I know you show the same interest in regular folk as well! Thanks for taking care! #Reelvsreal @dulQuer — Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) December 14, 2018 Dulquer Salmaan also responded saying that he's not a weirdo. "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. In my next tweet attaching the video I was shooting," the actor tweeted. He also posted a video of how the steering wheel keeps moving on its own. pic.twitter.com/3d2dGCV6ZD — dulquer salmaan (@dulQuer) December 14, 2018 While some were miffed by Kapoor's mention of 'regular people', others thought that the police should have known such scenes are always shot on a trolley. Wasn't this like. commonsense! Quite sad for Sonam to come out and clarify such a small thing. Can Mumbai Police show the same concern for the commonfolks and stop assuming things? @MumbaiPolice — BeingOh. (@vedant123) December 14, 2018 Pretty amateur stuff by @MumbaiPolice! In an attempt to be 'cool,' you should at least check the facts before you indulge in name-calling. The car was rigged to a pick-up truck and @dulQuer had already clarified it. Unnecessary. — Abhishek Nair (@AbhishekNaair) December 14, 2018 Jumped the gun on this one, methinks.@sonamakapoor @dulQuer — Ketki Angre (@ketkiangre) December 14, 2018 Dude isn't even driving. @MumbaiPolice I guess the intention was good but, maybe, you should take down the tweet and verify before posting incorrect information. 🤷🏾♂️ — Stanislavski (@rightlyconfused) December 14, 2018 "regular folks" it seems? Such classism much wow! — Sunny (@OnestlyBrutal) December 14, 2018 Dear @MumbaiPolice don't judge situations without knowing about it — Movie Reviewer (@abjaleelk) December 14, 2018 dnt judge book by its cover — ഏതോ ഒരാൾ (@mashumow7) December 14, 2018 @MumbaiPolice clarification given. Now will you please delete the tweet? — Mini (@meena2665) December 14, 2018 Your truck seems to be really low as the divider can be seen parallel to your car — Tiffany Lobo (@TiffanyLobo3) December 14, 2018 You guys are so responsible. I think you guys should now show the same responsibility and apologize to @dulQuer for posting something without even verifying it He has done many ads and campaigns for road safety. — Adhu (@talkadhu) December 14, 2018 Precaution is better than cure. I think instead of arguing with the police, it's better to appreciate their concern. Mumbai police do so much for everyone. They work from Day to night trying to catch the bad people, and ensure that nothing wrong happens in the city. — Precious Soul (@stunninghuman) December 14, 2018 @dulQuer What are you doing bro???😧 Not cool after advising everyone to wear helmets while driving bikes and not to perform stunts on roads etc. Disappointed when heroes let you down😞 — Blue (@menon_blue) December 14, 2018 Mumbai Police then responded to both the actors and said they were glad that safety wasn't 'rigged' and there were no violations. We appreciate that you weren’t indulging in any irresponsible violation. A good example for all your fans @dulQuer https://t.co/7nmjHYZGeu— Mumbai Police (@MumbaiPolice) December 14, 2018 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’. @sonamakapoor https://t.co/PyYbB23OZs— Mumbai Police (@MumbaiPolice) December 14, 2018
