Vicky Kaushal shared a sternly-worded tweet on Thursday night, in which, he clarified that he "has not stepped out of his house" since the announcement of the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown and that he was not "pulled up by the cops," contrary to the rumours that the actor had gone out to visit a Bollywood star. Tagging the Mumbai Police in his tweet, Vicky set the record straight and he wrote, "There are baseless rumours suggesting that I broke the lockdown and got pulled up by the cops. I've not stepped out of my house since the lockdown started. I request people not to heed the rumours."
