Popular television actress Rupali Ganguly has found herself in the crosshairs of criticism after being spotted riding a scooter without a helmet in Mumbai. The incident occurred following the Star Parivaar Awards 2024, where Ganguly won two awards for her role in the show “Anupamaa.”
Internet users were quick to express their disapproval of Ganguly’s behavior. Many questioned the fairness of enforcing traffic rules, suggesting that celebrities might be exempt from such regulations. One user commented, “Helmet ka challan bas gareeb non famous ke liye hi hai kya (Is the challan for helmet only meant for poor and non-famous people)?”
Another user took to social media to tag the RTO Mumbai, demanding a fine be issued for the helmetless ride. “RTO Mumbai please send fine without Helmet (laughing emojis),” they wrote.
Celebrity Privilege or Lawlessness?
The incident has sparked a debate about whether celebrities should be held to the same standards as ordinary citizens. Some users argued that Ganguly’s actions were a clear violation of traffic rules and should not be excused simply because she is a public figure.
“Sahi he celebrity Bina helmet gaadi chala sakte he…wo b police k samne se gaye….yahi per normal insaan karta tho…tho usko duniya ka fine maar dete… (Just because they are celebrities they can take a scooter ride without helmet…they went in front of police…had it been a normal person, they would have heavily fined them),” commented one user.
Another user criticized Ganguly’s role model status, stating, “Without helmet that too! I thought Anupamaa was perfect and all of them want to be like her…bad role model…(laughing emoji).”
Ganguly’s Response
As of now, Rupali Ganguly has not publicly addressed the criticism surrounding her helmetless scooter ride. It remains to be seen whether she will issue a statement or take any action in response to the backlash.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to traffic rules, regardless of one’s status or celebrity. It also highlights the ongoing debate about the treatment of celebrities in society and the expectations placed upon them.
