Varun Dhawan takes police rap in stride

Recently, a photograph of actor Varun Dhawan bending out of his car to click a selfie with a fan, seated in an auto rickshaw next to his car, went viral. While the Internet gushed about the adorable fan moment and how Varun was so kind, the Mumbai Police didn’t seem impressed. In fact, they chided the actor for his irresponsible behaviour in a social media post.

“@Varun_dvn These adventures surely work on D silver screen but certainly not on the roads of Mumbai! U have risked ur life, ur admirer’s & few others. V expect better from a responsible Mumbaikar & youth icon like U! An E-Challan is on d way 2 ur home. Next time, V will B harsher (sic),” they posted, sharing the image of the actor with his fan.

The actor himself took it in good spirit as he responded soon enough and wrote: “My apologies. Our cars weren’t moving since we were at a traffic signal and I didn’t want to hurt the sentiment of a fan, but next time I’ll keep safety in mind and won’t encourage this (sic).”
