Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who is currently enjoying fatherhood, has been slapped with a notice by the Brihan-Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) as its insecticide team visited the actor’s house and found mosquito breeding spots on the premises.

“Our team was carrying out routine inspection in the houses and gardens in the area. When it reached the actor’s Juhu Tara road residence, it was denied entry. So our team took the police’s help and entered the premises. Upon inspection of his private swimming pool, large number of Aedes Aegypti mosquito breeding spots were found,” said a Senior Municipal officer.

He added, “The actor was slapped with a notice under section 381-B of Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888 for not taking measures to prevent mosquito breeding.”

However, the actor has expressed his concern about the finding and thanked the BMC for conducting the check-up.

The spokesperson of Shahid said, “Shahid is concerned about the findings of BMC in his building and the locality. Specially so with the presence of a new born baby in the house. He is also thankful to BMC for the check up that they conducted in the locality which is vulnerable during the rainy season and due to its proximity to the beach.”

Meanwhile, Shahid Kapoor’s neighbor actress Vidya Balan has been diagnosed with Dengue.
