Taking to his Instagram stories, Varun expressed his anger over the media’s behavior, writing, “It is the most insensitive thing to point cameras in the face of the people who are grieving. Please think what you people are doing or what someone is going through when you do this. I understand it is work but sometimes another human might not be okay with this #humanity.” He urged people to be more considerate of the emotions involved, especially during moments of immense personal loss.
