Actor Varun Dhawan has been sent an e-challan by the Mumbai police, as he was caught on a wrong foot while travelling on the roads of the city.
The actor was seen clicking a selfie with a woman in an auto while he was being driven in his car. The actor popped his head out of the window, and the woman also leaned towards him from the auto to get a picture clicked.
Mumbai police feels that he is risking his own life and of the girl in the auto.
Along with his pictures of taking selfie with his female fan, Mumbai Police wrote, “.@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.”

People complain when police do not charge Celebrities and VIPs for their wrongdoings and when @MumbaiPolice is doing they are taking @Varun_dvn ‘s side. Strange. https://t.co/bHn4Dhq3nl
