Varun donates Rs. 5L for injured dancer, does it privately
What's the story
Varun Dhawan, who is currently training hard for Remo D'Souza directorial, Street Dancer, probably understood the struggles of a real-life dancer. That's why he promptly helped a youngster financially, who got injured badly while doing a double front flip. This kid dancer from Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, broke his neck while doing the dance step. His ordeal was posted on Instagram, and Varun jumped in.

Bro, how can I help him, Varun had asked
The hip hop and urban street art collective that goes by the name of totheculture on Instagram informed that Varun must have seen the story on another Instagram account, @kartik_veterans, and contacted the latter. He inquired about how he can help the boy, named Ishaan, and asked Kartik, "Bro, who is this boy? How can I help him? Please tell me. Please call me."
Donation
One of the group's members said Varun donated Rs. 5L
The notable thing here is Varun asked about Ishaan in a private chat, which proves that he didn't want publicity in this. Though, he got it nonetheless. Anyway, so totheculture, on Instagram, asked everyone to "show him Love" for his contribution. One of the group's members, Paritosh, informed a media platform that Varun donated a stunning Rs. 5 lakh for Ishaan's treatment.
Gratitude
'Would like to thank Varun Dhawan for everything he did'
"Would like to thank Varun Dhavan for everything he did...we need more hero's like you.. thank you everyone who supported," totheculture wrote in their post. The actor, meanwhile, remained mum about the issue, and did not post anything on his social media. Also, this is not the first time Varun has helped street dancers. In 2015, he helped the Fictitious Kings United Dance Group.
