Salman Khan's brother and famous actor Sohail Khan has been making headlines recently, after his video went viral on social media. In the video, he could be seen driving his Rs 17 lakh bike without a helmet on the streets of Bandra, Mumbai. After the video started making rounds on the internet, the actor faced a lot of backlash. After a few days, he issued an apology statement on his Instagram handle, where he revealed the reason behind not wearing a helmet. He said that sometimes he feels claustrophobic, which is why he sometimes avoids wearing a helmet.
What did he say?
He wrote, "I would like to request all the bike riders please wear helmets. I avoid wearing them at times as I feel claustrophobic, but that’s no excuse to not wear one. Riding has always been my passion since childhood. It began with BMX cycles, and now I ride bikes. I mostly ride late nights when there is not much traffic to cut risks, and that too, at a slow pace and with my car following me."
