Actor clicks selfie with fan, pays a price

The Mumbai Police on Thursday morning issued an e-challan to Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan for allegedly not wearing the seatbelt when he was spotted leaning out of his car and clicking a selfie with a fan, in Juhu.

The official Twitter account of Mumbai police tweeted two photos of Varun Dhawan and his fan as they were clicking selfies. The police stated in a tweet "@Varun_dvn These adventures surely work on D silver screen but certainly not on the roads of Mumbai! U have risked your 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."

A fine of Rs 600 fine has been imposed against Dhawan through e-challan.

Soon after the Mumbai police's tweet, Varun took Twitter to apologise for his act, "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."

While replying to the apology of Dhawan,Mumbai police again tweeted saying,"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."
