In the 1990s, Bollywood was heavily influenced by the underworld, with many celebrities receiving threats. Varun Dhawan recently recalled how his family too received an underworld threat, forcing them to leave their house and stay elsewhere for a day.
Varun shared that several celebrities were receiving underworld calls at the time, and his family was no exception. However, they didn't realise it because the staff were arguing with whoever was calling. The staff even gave out their full address and told the person where to meet.
Things escalated when an actor called his father, filmmaker David Dhawan, to warn him. Varun said, 'He said that this had gone out of hand and that the person was now saying he would come with guns and that he knew our address and office timings.' When his dad asked who had said this, he took the staff member's name. So they had to leave their house and stay somewhere else that day.
Varun's revelation offers a glimpse into a disturbing phase in Bollywood's history, when many film personalities were reportedly living under the shadow of threats and extortion calls from the underworld.
