Varun Dhawan had promised help to fan after she alleged domestic abuse from her father.

Varun thanked Ahmedabad Police for their quick response to the matter. He also noted that even though the fan had spoken about her ordeal publicly in a Twitter thread, he doesn't want to highlight it in public.

A video shared by Pinkvilla from a recent promotional event for Varun's upcoming film JugJugg Jeeyo showed him talking about the issue. He said, "5 to 10 people sent the thread to me. A journalist also sent that to me after verifying it. My friends in Ahmedabad went there and checked out the situation and it was real. There was a real issue. So that became a case about someone's personal life. I know she wrote about it publicly but I don't want to highlight it too much because I don't want it to backfire on them."

A fan of Varun, who handles a fan page for him on Twitter, had said in a Twitter thread earlier this month that her father abuses her and her mother and Gujarat Police hasn't provided much help in the matter. She had said, "He, for days doesn't let me eat food, also threatens us by using curse words and abusive language." Varun had responded to her tweets and promised her help. He tweeted, "This is an extremely serious matter and if this is true I will help you and speak to the authorities."

Varun is currently preparing for the release of his upcoming film JugJugg Jeeyo. The Raj Mehta directorial, which also stars Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor among others, is scheduled to release in theatres on June 24.
