The Bollywood star addressed the controversy after a viral video showed his driver accused of rash driving during a heated road spat.
Mumbai (Star Struck Times) — Actor Varun Dhawan recently found himself at the center of a social media storm after a video involving his driver went viral. The clip, shot on a busy road in Mumbai, shows a heated confrontation where a man accused Dhawan’s driver of rash driving and abusive behavior.
In the video, the unidentified man is seen angrily confronting the driver, alleging that the car had mounted the footpath and nearly caused an accident. The driver can be heard responding aggressively, while Varun Dhawan himself is spotted nearby. Instead of adding to the argument, the actor tries to pacify the situation, repeatedly saying “thik hai, thik hai” before getting back into his car.
The matter appeared tense, with the complainant accusing the driver of using foul language. According to eyewitnesses, police officers were also present at the spot to ensure the dispute did not spiral further. The short clip was first shared on Reddit before spreading rapidly across Instagram and X, where it became one of the most discussed Bollywood stories of the day.
As speculation mounted, Varun Dhawan finally broke his silence on the matter. Speaking to ETimes, the actor dismissed the exaggerated narratives circulating online. “The man in question actually came up to me and took a picture with me,” Varun clarified. “Later, the video made it look like something else. A lot of things on social media get twisted, and this is one of them.”
The actor further added that he does not condone rash driving or disrespectful behavior, whether from his staff or otherwise, but urged people not to “blow the matter out of proportion.” His calm handling of the situation in the video, and later his composed clarification, has drawn praise from many fans who lauded him for staying grounded.
Social media reactions, however, have been mixed. While a section of users applauded Varun’s demeanor, others questioned whether celebrities should be held accountable for the actions of their staff. The incident has once again reignited the larger debate on the responsibilities of public figures when those around them create controversy.
Varun Dhawan, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, seemed keen to put the matter behind him. His final word on the controversy reflects his attempt to protect his reputation while reminding fans of the dangers of believing viral clips without context.
