Varun Dhawan and Leander Paes were spotted spreading awareness about Malaria and Dengue at the anti-Dengue drive event organized by Congress MLA Baba Siddique, in Mumbai.

The 40-year-old tennis player revealed that he had been a victim of Malaria and two of his family members are currently suffering from Dengue in the hospital, and added that his reason for attending the event was to spread awareness regarding these deadly diseases.
