As per the report in Mumbai Mirror, paparazzi spotted Shahid and Mira working out at AntiGravity Club in Bandra. The gym which was shut for an entire day was opened on Sunday evening only for the couple. Assistant Municipal Commissioner of H-West ward, Vinayak Vispute told the tabloid, " “It was wrong on the part of the gym to remain open, even for one patron. If gymnasiums don’t follow state directives, they will be booked under relevant sections and licenses will be revoked.”

However, gym's owner and Shahid's 'friend' Yudhishthir Jaising denied of his place being sealed. He said, "The gym has been shut since Friday. We are not aware of it being sealed on Monday. There is no commercial activity and there are no trainers. We will follow the government’s advisory."
