MUMBAI: Actor Varun Dhawan has slammed paparazzi for pointing cameras at grieving people following the death of Malaika Arora’s father Anil Mehta, saying this is insensitive.
Taking to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Varun expressed his displeasure and frustration as he wrote, “It is the most insensitive thing to point cameras in the face of people who are grieving please”.
