Varun Dhawan has waded into a late-night Twitter exchange involving his colleague Arjun Kapoor who shut down a troll over a now-deleted tweet, which accused Arjun of 'double standards' in his rumoured relationship with Malaika Arora. After the troll - a self-proclaimed Varun Dhawan fan who uses a picture of the actor as DP - posted a fulsome apology, the Kalank actor tweeted this acknowledgement: "I'm glad you apologised. It's okay, Arjun is not upset. Let's just all live our own lives. AK has a big heart. I always say I don't want any of my fans to talk bad about any actors." Read Varun's tweet here:

Arjun Kapoor, he of the 'big heart,' was similarly magnanimous. "Spread love, the street dancer is watching you," he tweeted to the troll, referencing Varun's new film.
It's ok kusum... spread love... the street dancer is watching you... https://t.co/f91kscWJUp

Arjun was quick to cut the troll down to size after a Twitter offensive which accused Arjun of 'double standards' and compared his alleged relationship with Malaika to his father Boney Kapoor's marriage to second wife Sridevi. Arjun and his sister Anshula have stood by their siblings Janhvi and Khushi after Sridevi's sudden death - the actor pointed this out in his shutdown and also advised the troll not to 'spread negativity with (Varun's) face on your DP.'
I don't hate anyone Kusum. We kept a dignified distance, If I did I wouldn't have been there for my dad Janhvi & Khushi at a sensitive time... it's easy to type & judge, think a little. Your @Varun_dvn s fan so I feel I should tell u don't spread negativity with his face on ur DP https://t.co/DHyHVVDPHq

Arjun Kapoor's dignified response prompted an outpouring of support from others on Twitter, resulting in the troll taking down the tweet and replacing it with an apology. Varun Dhawan appears to have concluded proceedings.
Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora have long been rumoured to be dating. While neither have actually said they are, Arjun and Malaika did seem to make it somewhat official by attending screenings of the actor's new film India's Most Wanted and being photographed together.
Varun Dhawan, last seen the poorly-received Kalank, is currently making the dance film - Street Dancer - that Arjun plugged in his tweet.
