Rujuta Diwekar, a celebrity nutrition and exercise expert, is receiving backlash from the netizens. The diet expert is quite active on social media and is vocal on the trending issues and fitness related post. However, her latest tweet on cycling had some of her Twitter family indulge in an argument. The prime reason is Bollywood actor's Shah Rukh Khan's name in it! Shah Rukh Khan's YRF Actioner 'Pathan' To Release On Gandhi Jayanti 2021?.
She wrote on Twitter, "Dear middle aged men on geared cycles, A woman riding a cycle on the road is niether an opportunity nor a threat. Don’t huff & puff, change gears, overtake and turn around to look. You are not Shahrukh Khan." A few of them questioned her whether it is okay if SRK indulges in such behavior and not tolerable when others do? Here are the tweets.

Rujuta Diwekar's Tweet:
Dear middle aged men on geared cycles,
A woman riding a cycle on the road is niether an opportunity nor a threat. Don’t huff & puff, change gears, overtake and turn around to look. You are not Shahrukh Khan.

'Dignity Should Be Maintained By All Men'
Mid life crises. If it happened with you then it may be they just realised they have crossed a celebrity health guide. So may want to catch a glimpse
In all senses, dignity and respect of women should be maintained by all men at all time. Good day

On Celebrity Status
Did you find only middle aged men doing this offensive and if some youngsters or star do it will it be OK

'Who is Srk'
Who is shahrukh khan and who gives him a right to do that? Biased tweet from a celebrity dietician

Baffled Netizen
Do you mean to say that @iamsrk would do this cheapness? Or, it is OK for SRK to do that, but not for a common man??

Doubt...
Does that mean Khan has all the rights.?

One On SRK Again
I believe even if you ARE Shahrukh, you shouldn’t do it! 😝

On Fantasies
There you said it in the last line. If one aspires to become the same he will be misled. These fantasies need to change.

King Khan, on the other hand, has never been seen huffing or puffing on the roads, changing the gears of the cycle in real life. However, looks like Rujuta's 'filmy' and sarcastic example has irked many of them and are schooling the famous dietitian for the same. What are your thoughts on this tweet? Drop your comments below.
