Varun Dhawan's Train Station Appearance Sparks Debate

A recent video of Varun Dhawan posing at a crowded train station in Mumbai has sparked discussion online. The video shows Dhawan posing for pictures, initially with a mask on, and later removing it. While some people in the background noticed him, they did not mob or approach the actor.

The video, shared by a paparazzi account, prompted questions about the current state of stardom, with the caption, "What's happening with the stardom in this generation? Varun removes his mask but look at the crowd's reaction".

Public Reaction

The online reaction to the video has been varied. Some Redditors expressed approval of the public's behavior, suggesting that people should not worship celebrities and instead focus on their own lives. Others suggested that Mumbaikars are generally unfazed by the presence of celebrities in public places. Some users speculated it was a publicity stunt that did not go as planned.

Controversy Surrounding Metro Ride

Prior to the train station video, Dhawan faced criticism for a video showing him doing pull-ups inside a Mumbai Metro train. The Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) initially responded with a safety advisory, cautioning against such behavior and stating that it could be punishable under the Metro Railway Act of 2002.

Reports initially indicated that Dhawan was fined ₹500 for the incident. However, Dhawan's team later clarified that no fine or penalty was issued and that the initial post by the Mumbai Metro authorities had been taken down.

Success of 'Border 2'

Dhawan is currently celebrating the success of his film, 'Border 2'. He recently met with paparazzi to express his gratitude for their support. The film has received positive reactions, with Alia Bhatt praising Dhawan's performance.

Conclusion

Varun Dhawan's recent public appearances have generated mixed reactions. While his film 'Border 2' is enjoying success, a video of him at a train station has sparked debate about celebrity culture, and his metro antics led to a public safety warning.
