Delhi Traffic Police chose Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra as a messenger to spread awareness about anti-drunken driving and stunt driving.

Sidharth Malhotra has a message for Delhiites: Have fun but drive responsibly. The actor who was shooting for his new film, Aiyaary at India Gate, took part in the road safety campaign by Delhi Traffic Police to raise awareness about anti-drunken driving and anti-stunt riding. “Delhi is my home town. This is a great step. It is going to be helpful for everyone. Anyone can be involved in road accident. Drunk and stunt driving must be avoided. It’s not just about us, it’s about our family and friends as well,” he said.
