A Mumbai city newspaper, on Thursday, carried a photo of actor Varun Dhawan leaning out of his car to take a selfie with a fan in an adjacent vehicle. But, the photo did not go down well with the Mumbai police, who took to Twitter to blast the actor for breaking traffic rules. "These adventures surely work on D silver screen but certainly not on the roads of Mumbai! U have risked ur 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," they wrote. 

The actor quickly apologised for his actions. "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," he replied. 

But the police were in no mood to relent. "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," they tweeted. 

That was cold, son.
