Varun Dhawan has had a rather unpleasant brush with stardom recently. The actor has been forced to file an official complaint with the police after being stalked by a female fan for days, who even threatened to commit suicide if he didn’t respond to her messages.
According to Mid-Day, the Judwaa 2 star registered a complaint with Santacruz police station on 2 November against a woman stalker who has been hounding Varun, bombarding him with WhatsApp messages. A few days after he blocked her, he got a call from an unidentified person who told him that the woman would commit suicide if he didn’t respond to her messages.
A worried Varun filed a complaint with the Santacruz police and also with the cyber police station at BKC.
