Varun Dhawan just got an unexpected mention on his Twitter timeline from the Mumbai Police team’s official Twitter handle on Thursday morning.
A city newspaper today carried pictures of Varun leaning out of his car and taking a selfie with a fan who was in a adjacent auto. While, the newspaper said that the actor had made the fan’s day with his magnanimous act, the Mumbai Police disagreed.
“@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.”Mumbai Police (Twitter)
The Judwaa 2 actor was quick to offer an explanation and apologise:
“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.”Varun Dhawan (Twitter)
While Varun Dhawan may have taken the selfie in a stationary vehicle during a traffic jam, Mumbai Police’s strict act has surely won them a few fans.
BUT the big question remains:
