Arya receives flak for flouting lockdown norms while cycling

Chennai

Arya, as we all know, is a hardcore fitness enthusiast. The actor has also inspired many to take up fitness through his workout videos and pictures on social media.

The actor, who has represented India in cycle riding, went on an 80 km cycle ride on Saturday morning with his group of friends including Ghajinikanth director Santhosh P Jayakumar. Arya also posted pictures in which none of them were seen wearing masks or maintaining social distance while posing for photos. While a few of them appreciated Arya’s dedication towards fitness many questioned the actor’s lack of awareness in following social distancing norms.

“We had to take off our masks while posing for pictures and while riding the cycle as it would suffocate our lungs. We haven’t flouted the norms otherwise,” Arya told DT Next. Arya will be seen in Teddy along with his wife Sayyeshaa and also has Salpetta Parambarai that will be helmed by Pa Ranjith.
