In a big step to curb the spread of coronavirus, the Maharashtra government ordered the closure of cinema halls, gyms and swimming pools in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad and Nagpur cities from Friday (March 13) midnight till March 31, 2020.
Making the announcement in the state Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said the government was invoking the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897. As of now, nine people tested positive to coronavirus in Mumbai and the metropolitan region. The number of positive cases in Maharashtra rose to 33 on Sunday. But looks like Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor remains unaffected by this. The actor was snapped at a Bandra gym on Sunday for an exclusive workout session at the gym's VIP section.
Going by the viral picture shared by photojournalist Shadab Khan, the actor was spotted at a Bandra gym, AntiGravity Club, on Sunday evening. The reports in a leading daily suggest that he was accompanied by his wife Mira Rajput. In the picture, Shahid is seen doing an intensive workout. The reports further mention that the gym was shut all day but opened for the couple at around 5.30 PM and on spotting paparazzi around, the couple chose to leave the gym from a different exit door.
AntiGravity club owner Yudhishthir spoke to a leading tabloid and asserted that Shahid was a 'close friend' who had come to get some equipment and he was only showing him the right way to use it. He also clarified that the club has not broken any rule and has been shut since Friday. Further Yudhishthir said that they often work out at each other's houses and it was 'just friends chilling on a Sunday evening'.
This did not go well with the Netizens as they slammed Shahi for breaking the rule and taking the virus lightly. While some called him irresponsible, some bashed him by calling him a brat.
