The world is currently facing the wrath of the novel Coronavirus pandemic and many celebs are doing everything that they can to help the needy.

Bollywood actor, Varun Dhawan too is extending complete support to the authorities and the Government by helping them in monetary terms and also by donating food to the needy. He is also using his reach as a celebrity to urge fans to remain indoors and practice social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Recently, the Judwaa 2 actor took to his social media account and shared a throwback picture of himself with a cop to thank the Mumbai Police for their painstaking efforts in maintaining discipline during the lockdown. Soon after VD posted his photo, a Twitter user following him slammed him for being irresponsible.

In the picture, Varun is seen shaking hands with a cop, with neither of them wearing masks. “Where is social distancing, mask and gloves. Idiot is shaking hands with policeman risking him of infection. Bad example set by this actor,” the fan wrote.

Varun immediately clarified that the picture was not taken recently, but is from two months ago. “Idiot this is old picture clicked 2 months back love u,” he wrote. The fan then replied, “Hahaha, should have mentioned that. Love you too.”

Recently, Varun went live with COVID-19 survivor Zoa Morani and during their Instagram live session he revealed that one of his relatives in the US has tested positive for the coronavirus. “It’s very close to home right now. Until it happens to someone you know, you don’t take it seriously and understand the gravity of it,” he said, repeating his appeal to everyone to stay home to control the spread of the pandemic.
