Varun Dhawan has found himself at the center of online criticism after several incidents involving his female co-stars, Alia Bhatt and Kiara Advani, went viral. Videos of Varun kissing Kiara’s cheek during a photoshoot and touching Alia’s belly during a live event led many to question his conduct. While some saw the actions as playful, others argued they crossed boundaries.
Varun Dhawan On Misbehaving With Alia Bhatt, Kiara Advani
Addressing the controversy, Varun denied any inappropriate intentions, calling the incidents harmless fun. He clarified that the kiss with Kiara was pre-planned for a digital magazine shoot to create a dynamic shot. Despite this explanation, some viewers believed Kiara appeared caught off guard, which sparked further debate. In another instance, Varun attempted to push Kiara into a pool during an event promoting their film JugJugg Jeeyo. He admitted that this was spontaneous and not discussed beforehand but maintained it was meant as lighthearted mischief. Similarly, the moment when he touched Alia’s belly during a live interaction was described as playful camaraderie between longtime friends.
While Varun’s explanations reflect his easygoing and jovial personality, the incidents highlight a broader discussion about personal boundaries, even in close friendships. Some critics feel his actions, though not malicious, set a concerning precedent for what is acceptable behaviour in professional settings. Others argue that such moments are being overanalyzed, given the comfort level he shares with his co-stars.
This debate also raises questions about how such interactions are perceived when involving male and female co-stars. Varun pointed out that he often shares similar playful moments with his male colleagues, yet these rarely spark the same level of scrutiny. However, in today’s age of heightened awareness about consent and personal space, even seemingly innocent actions are likely to face closer inspection. While Varun’s candid responses suggest he meant no harm, this serves as a reminder that intentions don’t always align with perceptions.
On the workfront, Varun Dhawan will be seen in Baby John set to release on December 25, 2024 and also starring Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi and more.
