Veteran Bollywood actor Tiku Talsania, aged 71, has landed in legal trouble after a video of him performing a bike stunt went viral on social media. The Ahmedabad Police have registered a case against both Tiku Talsania and actress Manasi Parekh for performing dangerous stunts on public roads.
In the viral video, Talsania can be seen doing a stunt on a motorcycle, while on another bike, Manasi Parekh strikes the iconic “Titanic pose.” The clip quickly spread across social media, drawing criticism from users who condemned the act as irresponsible and unsafe. Many pointed out that being celebrities does not grant anyone the right to violate traffic laws or endanger public safety.
Following the outrage, the Ahmedabad Traffic Police took action, filing a case against both actors for performing the stunt on city roads. Reportedly, the video was part of a promotional shoot for their upcoming Gujarati film Misri.
According to police officials, the case has been registered at the A-Division Traffic Police Station under Section 281 of the Indian Penal Code (rash and negligent conduct endangering human life) and Sections 177 and 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act (violations related to reckless driving and endangering safety). All these charges relate to acts of negligence and life-endangering behavior.
Misri, written and directed by Kushal Naik, revolves around the lives of a free-spirited photographer and a pottery teacher. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on October 31.
