In a first of its kind incident, Mumbai traffic police has fined Bollywood hero Varun Dhawan for taking a selfie with a fan amidst traffic jam.
Recently, when Varun was stuck in a traffic jam on a Mumbai road, he was requested by a fan in a stationary auto-rickshaw for a selfie. The actor obliged his fan’s small request as all the vehicles on the road were stationary. The next day when the selfie was published in newspapers, Mumbai police took serious note of it, and warned the actor on Twitter.
“These adventures surely work on the 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,” tweeted Mumbai police to Varun Dhawan.
The young hero took the rebuke in his stride, and apologized for his action. “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,” he replied to Mumbai police.
Most netizens took the side of Varun and opined that Mumbai police went ‘overboard’ since a celebrity was involved. They lauded Varun for his graceful apology, and mature handling of the situation.
