Taapsee Pannu to start a road-safety campaign

Pannu has decided to spread awareness about road-safety by launching a campaign with the help of her friends.

Taapsee Pannu has been riding motorbikes these days, because her upcoming film, which is being shot in Goa, will feature her riding a two-wheeler.

Taapsee wants to discourage drunk driving through a campaign that will be launched on social media first, and will be followed by an event in Delhi in June.

A source says that while riding the bike, the actor was shocked to see how rash many young riders are. So, now, Taapsee has decided to spread awareness about road-safety by launching a campaign with the help of her friends.

When contacted, Taapsee said, “Though I know how to ride a bike, I haven’t been able to own one because of safety concerns. I was shocked to see a few accidents in Delhi, Mumbai and Goa. It’s sad that many people value a moment’s thrill over their lives. I hope I can influence people in a good way through my initiative.”
