The second wave has not been easy on anyone, I’ve had at least seven family members who got Covid-19 during this phase and it’s very stressful for the family.

He said it is “unfortunate” that this conversation needs to happen. “They (doctors) are meeting infected patients and not their own families. They are working without breaks while clad in PPEs and we are attacking them if we lose a loved one. It is wrong. People need to understand that it is not their fault, this disease is still new, people are understanding it. But you can’t harass doctors, you can’t attack doctors, you just can’t do that.” On the work front, Varun Dhawan was last seen in Coolie No. 1, a remake of the 1995 film of the same name directed by his father David Dhawan.
