Varinder Chawla reveals how Sanjay Dutt helped him out

When one of the Redditors asked Varinder to reveal his “Best and worst celeb encounter,” the paparazzo recalled an anecdote related to the popular Bollywood actor, Sanjay Dutt. He shared the story and said that once he rammed into the actor's vanity van. Given the whopping price tag of the van, the crew members surrounded him. However, Sanjay Dutt saved him and offered to personally pay for the damages. Varinder said:

“Long back, 10-15 years back, I, by mistake, went and hit my Maruti Zen into a vanity van hired by the production team for Sanjay Dutt. Vanity van got serious scratches, it was an expensive DC-designed car. The crew of the vanity van and production guys surrounded me, but Sanjay Dutt came out, and he literally saved me. He told them whatever the damage was, he will personally pay it.”
