In recent developments, Varun Dhawan, a prominent figure in Bollywood known for his dynamic roles and impressive physique, has found himself at the centre of a controversy. Despite his marriage to Natasha Dalal, his childhood love, Varun has been criticized for his conduct towards female co-stars, particularly an incident involving Janhvi Kapoor at a Filmfare event that has sparked widespread discussion.
Viral Video Sparks Controversy
The incident, which was captured in a video and quickly circulated online, took place while Varun and Janhvi, co-stars in the forthcoming film “Bawaal,” were attending the event. As they posed for the paparazzi, Varun’s interaction with Janhvi raised eyebrows. The video shows Janhvi subtly moving Varun’s hand away from her waist. Later, as she attempts to exit the stage, Varun is seen grabbing her arm, a gesture from which she discreetly frees herself and walks away. This interaction did not go unnoticed, particularly on social platforms like Reddit’s Bolly Blinds N Gossip subreddit, where the video was posted and extensively discussed.
The reaction from the online community was swift and critical, with many netizens expressing discomfort over Varun’s behaviour. The comments ranged from direct observations of Janhvi’s evident unease to broader concerns about Varun’s general conduct around his female colleagues. This incident has fueled a conversation about personal space and respect within the entertainment industry, with some users even expressing a desire for Varun to face public repercussions for his actions.

It is not the first time Varun has been called out for similar behaviour. Previously, during the promotion of “Bawaal,” he was criticized for biting Janhvi’s ear in a viral video from a photoshoot. The act was widely denounced on social media, with numerous people calling his behaviour inappropriate and disrespectful.
Amidst these controversies, Varun Dhawan finds his professional accomplishments overshadowed by his conduct. With several projects in the pipeline, including “VD18” and “Citadel” co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, as well as the sequel to his 2022 hit “Bhediya,” Varun faces a critical moment in his career. The response from the film industry and his fans to his recent actions and any subsequent steps he takes to address these concerns are being closely monitored.
