In a new interview, Varun Dhawan reacted to the allegations by a few netizens that he behaves inappropriately with his female co-stars like Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani.
Varun Dhawan’s energetic nature, playful personality, and candid attitude during interviews is often loved by netizens but some believe he crosses a line. Recently, the actor shared his reaction to the allegations by a few netizens that he behaves inappropriately with his female co-stars, including Kiara Advani and Alia Bhatt, based on some viral clips on the internet. He explained that it’s his personality and such moments are often planned, while ensuring he never crosses a line with them.
In a new interview with Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel, Varun Dhawan reacted to vital clips that showcased him giving an impromptu kiss on Kiara’s cheek during a photoshoot and touching Alia’s belly during a live event. When these videos went viral, they led to online debates on whether he was crossing a line with them. But, the actor dismissed those allegations and mentioned it was harmless fun.
The Bhediya actor explained that he is only playful with his co-stars in a happy space. He noted that he is the same with male and female co-stars and said, “Chhedam-chhaadi, if it is done in a happy space, a good space, whether it is a man or a woman… I have fun with my male co-stars as well, but nobody mentions that.”
He explained that the kiss with Kiara Advani during the photoshoot was a pre-planned moment with the actress. He thanked the interviewer for providing him with the opportunity to clarify it. “It was planned. Both Kiara and I posted that clip. It was for a digital cover, and they wanted some movement and action, so we planned that,” Dhawan explained.
When probed further on why the actress looked surprised, he complimented her acting skills and stated that he would admit when the moment was not planned, but in that case, it was. In the same context, Varun discussed an unplanned incident during a promotion for their film JugJugg Jeeyo.
He recalled playfully trying to push Kiara into a pool, grabbing her by the waist. In the video, Advani was heard asking him to stop, and the actor admitted it was an unplanned moment. Dhawan confessed, “That I did on purpose. It was all in good fun. It wasn’t planned. That’s just my nature, I guess.”
On the other hand, he also shared his side of the story on the video of touching Alia Bhatt‘s belly during a live event that was tagged as inappropriate by some netizens. The Citadel Honey Bunny actor remarked, “I did it in fun. It wasn’t flirting. We’re friends.”
For those unaware, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt made their debut together in Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year, and since then, they made a successful on-screen pair in films like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya and Kalank.
