Varun Dhawan, Rajkummar Rao Slam YouTuber's Racist Comments Against Arunachal Pradesh MLA

Varun Dhawan and Rajkummar Rao have condemned YouTuber Paras Singh for allegedly using a racist slur against Arunachal Pradesh MLA Ninong Ering in one of his videos.

Varun took to his Instagram story to share a screenshot of a news article which was originally posted by filmmaker Amar Kaushik with a caption that read, "Being ignorant about your country and its region is stupidity in itself, but when that ignorance is expressed in an offensive manner, it becomes toxic. We all need to call out and condemn such ignorance in one voice and make all idiots understand that IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ANYMORE."
