Varun Dhawan was recently shooting for an ad campaign at a suburban studio when he lost his balance, fell and hurt his hand while performing a stunt. The actor was immediately rushed to the hospital where he was advised to take rest. However, Varun refused to pack-up and only went home after completing his work.

A source close to the project revealed, “Varun was shooting for an ad for a television channel on Thursday and performing a stunt that went wrong. He had to slide down from a pole between two floors, but he suddenly slipped and fell. He bruised his hand and elbow badly. He was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital in Bandra. But the dedicated actor he is, instead of cancelling his shoot and going home, he went back to the studios and completed his shoot. Only after wrapping it up, did he go home."

Varun’s father David Dhawan confirmed the news and asserted, “Yes, Varun was shooting for an ad when he got injured. He is a very enthusiastic and an involved actor who loves doing all his stunts himself. While his mother Lally knew he was injured, I didn’t know he had hurt himself till my wife told me about it at night. Varun’s better now, but as parents, we get very worried when something happens to our children...”

When Varun was asked about this, he said that there’s nothing to worry as he is feeling better now. “Yes, I fell while shooting, but I am good now,” said Varun. The star will next be seen in father David’s ‘Judwaa 2’, alongside Taapsee Pannu and Jacqueline Fernandez, which will hit the theatres on 29th September.
