Varun Dhawan shut down an Instagram troll, who accused the actor of showing his “privilege.” Varun, who was busy shooting for his next film Bhediya in Arunachal Pradesh, returned to Mumbai on Wednesday evening. He was accompanied by his wife Natasha Dalal. At the airport, Varun asked the paparazzi to keep a safe distance from him and his wife as a precaution in the face of the coronavirus situation. Varun was even seen asking a photographer to put on his mask correctly. Commenting on one of these videos on Instagram, one user, who thought Varun Dhawan was on vacation with his wife, wrote: “Stop showing your privilege when people in your country die.”
Varun Dhawan was quick to spot the comment and decided to set the record straight. Responding to the troll, he wrote: “Well your guess is wrong. I was shooting my movie and not on vacation. And what do you mean” gave them a chance? How don’t you give them a chance? I have people who have also lost their lives in covid. So, keep your assumptions to yourself. “
On Wednesday evening, Varun Dhawan and Natasha Dalal were pictured exiting Mumbai airport and heading quickly for the car.
Recently, Varun Dhawan found himself a victim of social media outrage when he tweeted a fan-made poster of himself, which he later deleted. Varun’s tweet, which was a special birthday poster made by a fan, was criticized for being callous and for appearing deaf as the country battles the second wave of the pandemic. He later posted this explanation.
Well that was to make someone happy who made the chart and asked for it, but I guess this medium shouldn’t be used for that now. https://t.co/STQ4DIAcZU
