Recently, a video of
Varun Dhawan along with his driver went viral on the internet. A reddit user shared it and wrote that Varun's driver abused a man after an
accident. This video saw
Varun calming down the man and there was also a cop standing next to them. During a recent chat with ETimes, Varun broke silence on the matter. Varun was promoting his film 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' along with
Janhvi Kapoor and director
Shashank Khaitan. During the conversation, the actors opened up on actors now having boundaries because due to social media, things are blown out of proportion and more often than not, presented with a wrong narrative.
Varun said, "It's so easy to create a false narrative today with social media. What shakes you more is a false narrative. For example, I'm working with the PR people I'm working with for years. Now it has gone to a level where it's beyond them. Earlier we would know if a story is planted but now it has gone to a level wherein 'kuch bhi ho raha hai'. That is not the moral ethics that I stand for or my team stands for. When we see these things we get shaken up and someone like a Janhvi who is relatively new, it shakes your confidence."
Janhvi added that people make any kind of videos on social media just to increase their follower count, or increase engagement even by putting up things out of context. Reacting to it, Varun said, "Haal hi mein mere driver ke saath hua. We just reached somewhere but the way the videos were shared, it became a thing that 'they are fighting'. I said, 'what rubbish'. He was saying that only, that I want to come and take a picture with you. That man has come and taken a picture with me later on. Nothing happened. If someone from law enforcement comes and stands next to me. I will stand there and listen and talk to him. The man has come and taken a picture with me, the cop spoke to me. Nothing happened. But people want to make an issue out of nothing."
'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' is set to release on October 2.
