Actors often complaints that they cannot bear the harsh rays of sunlight and that’s why they travel in tint sheeted cars.

Recently actors Ajay Devgn and Vidya Balan have been reprimanded by traffic police for the tinted films in their cars. While, the Kahaani actress sweetly pays the fine every time but has requested the cops to let her keep the tinted film because she cannot handle the sunlight.
