Sohail issues apology after video of him riding without helmet goes viral
India, Dec. 16 -- A video of actor-producer Sohail Khan riding his bike in Bandra, Mumbai without a helmet recently surfaced online, drawing widespread criticism. In response, the actor has issued an apology and urged fellow riders to always wear helmets.
On Sunday, Sohail shared a photo of himself on Instagram and explained why he wasn't wearing a helmet. The 54-year-old wrote, "I would like to request all bike riders to please wear helmets. I avoid wearing them at times as I feel claustrophobic, but that is no excuse for not wearing one. Riding has always been my passion since childhood. It began with BMX cycles, and now I ride bikes. I mostly ride late at night, when there is not much traffic, to minimise risks, that too at a slow pace and with my car following me."
He added that he will follow all traffic rules moving forward, saying, "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 riders who wear 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."
