Varun Dhawan continues shooting despite INJURY

Varun Dhawan was spotted on Thursday night with a heavily bandaged right hand. The actor had just returned the day before from London where he was shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Judwaa 2.

He was shooting for a brand at Mehboob Studios when he slipped and fell and hurt his hand while performing a stunt. While he was rushed to a doctor in Bandra, the actor refused to pack up, but only went home after completing his shots.

Says an insider, “Varun was shooting for an ad for a television channel on Thursday and performing a stunt that went wrong. He had to slide down from a pole between two floors, but he suddenly slipped and fell. He bruised his hand and elbow badly. He was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital in Bandra. But the dedicated actor he is, instead of canceling his shoot and going home, he went back to the studios and completed his shoot. Only after wrapping it up, did he go home.”

That night, he attended his ‘godfather’ Karan Johar’s 45th birthday along with his girlfriend Natasha Dalal. While he still has to visit the doctor for periodic check-ups, he is on the road to recovery.

Varun has just completed a big chunk of schedule of Judwaa 2 in London, directed by his father David Dhawan, who admits he knows about the injury and adds, “Yes, Varun was shooting for an ad in Mehboob when he got injured. He is a very enthusiastic and an involved actor who loves doing all his stunts himself. While his mother Lally knew he was injured, I didn’t know he had hurt himself till my wife told me about it at night. Varun’s better now, but as parents we get very worried when something happens to our children...” Varun confirms, “Yes, I fell while shooting, but I am good now.”
