‘These adventures do not work on Mumbai’s roads’: Police fine Varun Dhawan for a selfie in traffic
The actor immediately responded with an apology, saying that he did not want to disappoint a fan.
The Mumbai Police on Thursday fined actor Varun Dhawan for leaning out of his car to click a selfie with a fan travelling in an autorickshaw. “These adventures surely work on the silver screen but certainly not on the roads of Mumbai,” the Mumbai Police told Dhawan in a tweet, and added that an electronic challan was on its way to his house.

Dhawan also did not seem to be wearing a seat belt as he leaned out of the car. “We expect better from a responsible Mumbaikar and youth icon like you,” the police tweeted. “Next time, we will be harsher.”
The actor immediately responded with an apology, saying that he did it because he did not want to disappoint a fan.
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
