Varun Dhawan’s run-in with the Mumbai Police has become a talking point on Twitter. After the actor posted a photo of his selfie moment with a fan, it was followed by a savage reply from the Mumbai Police and a quick apology from Dhawan. However, the matter didn’t end there. Although the actor immediately apologised for being callous, his response was met with a ‘touch-in-cheek’ reply from the proactive and witty Mumbai Police’s Twitter handle.
Not one to forget so soon, social media users too added pun to the incident with hilarious VIP incidents from the past that deserve a challan too. Replying to the same post many pointed out that it was a common practice among Bollywood celebrities, politicians and other VIPs to not follow the law.
Isn’t it commendable on the part of the Mumbai Police to not just fine the actor but also publicly put it up on social media? Check out the tweets by Mumbai Police here.

Quite a galactic coincidence for the photographer to be on the same signal to capture your gesture, in a good intent nevertheless risky. Leaning out even in a stationary vehicle can be distracting for others considering your popularity. Glad you took our message in d right spirit https://t.co/jKqosfH6V3
