One of the most talented young stars of Bollywood, Varun Dhawan is known to be super warm and sweet to his fans. He often replies to them on Twitter and even obliges most people who walk up to him for a selfie or autograph. So when a girl travelling in an auto-rickshaw parallel to his car asked him for a photo, he agreed readily. He peeped out of his vehicle’s window and not only posed for her but also posed with her. While this left the fan super happy, it has not gone down too well with the Mumbai Police. They took to Twitter to reprimand the actor and also released an E-challan against him. Here’s what the Mumbai Police posted.

Varun apologized and gave his clarification soon after that.
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. https://t.co/MEJk56EksG

Do you think it was Varun’s fault?
