The Badlapur star recalled telling them that he was only interested in the dance competition there and not girls.
Varun Dhawan disclosed that the guys replied, ‘No, no, you have to like her.’ He shared that they started fighting with him and he was beaten up. “Usne pitwaya woh teen ladkon se kyunki main haan nahi bol raha tha (She made the three guys beat me up because I was not accepting her proposal).”
Varun mentioned that he also beat them in return. “It was a very filmy scene,” he said. VD added that he even won the dance competition while Shraddha came third.
During the same conversation, Varun Dhawan recalled another incident when Shraddha Kapoor was 15-16 years old and had become very beautiful. He revealed that he had gone to play dandiya in her school. VD shared that he hit someone with a dandiya stick and was trying to hide. He remembered Shraddha walking towards him in slow motion and looking quite pretty.
Varun added, “Tab jaake mujhe ehsaas hua ki shayad maine kuch galti kar di (Then I realized that perhaps I had made some mistake).” However, he said that he didn’t make any mistake because what he would have done at the age of 8. Varun concluded by saying that after that he became friends with Shraddha again.
Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor have worked in various films together, and their pairing is highly popular among fans. The former even made a cameo appearance in her horror comedy movie Stree 2. Their chemistry in the song Khoobsurat was immensely loved by the audience.

In response, the actress shared, “You know we have to be offered something together, very honestly (laughs).” Talking about the love that the audience has given them, she continued, “And I think it has to be… we’ve got a lot of love from you guys, so you’ll have set the bar very high for us.”
Shraddha added, “So we have to make sure that we choose the right film so that you guys are feeling ki, ‘Yaar haan, yeh correct film mein aaye hain Varshra saath mein (Yes, this is the correct film that Varshra came together in).’” She even manifested their collaboration.
