Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan recently showcased his good humour and grace under fire when a fan directly criticised his choice of films. The incident occurred during an online interaction, highlighting the direct and often unfiltered dialogue between stars and their audience in the digital age.
The Viral Exchange on Social Media
On Tuesday, Varun Dhawan engaged with his followers through a Q&A session on the platform X (formerly Twitter). The light-hearted session took an interesting turn when a user left a blunt comment about the actor's recent career choices. The fan wrote, "Bhai aren't u serious Abt ur comeback? Stop doing pathetic movies like SSKTK in the name of versatility." The remark directly targeted Dhawan's 2023 romantic comedy 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari', co-starring Janhvi Kapoor.
Instead of taking offence or ignoring the harsh critique, Varun chose to respond with a playful and witty comeback. Demonstrating a positive spirit, he replied, "Chalo film phir bhi chal gaye thodi. App theatre jata rehna mein #border 2 might surprise u since ur taste is amazing." This translates to, "Well, the film still did a little well. You continue going to theatres. Border 2 might surprise you since your taste is amazing." His response, which cleverly promoted his next project while acknowledging the feedback, quickly went viral among fans and netizens.
Looking Back at 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari'
The film in question, 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari', opened in theatres last year. It featured Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in lead roles, with Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf in key supporting parts. The plot revolved around two former lovers in Delhi attempting to rekindle their old flame, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and new romantic entanglements. Upon its release, the movie received a mixed response from audiences and critics, with some praising the performances while others were divided on its overall appeal.
What's Next for Varun Dhawan?
All eyes are now on Varun Dhawan's next major project, the highly anticipated 'Border 2'. The actor is currently gearing up for the film's release, which promises to be a stark contrast to the lighthearted SSKTK. The movie is a sequel to the iconic 1997 war film 'Border' and boasts an impressive ensemble cast.
'Border 2' is directed by Anurag Singh and stars Sunny Deol, who reprises his legendary role, along with Ahan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh. The film also features Mona Singh, Medha Rana, Sonam Bajwa, and Anya Singh in pivotal roles. It is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with JP Dutta's JP Films. The production is helmed by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta.
Mark your calendars, as the patriotic saga is set to march into cinemas nationwide from January 23 onwards. Varun's confident suggestion to the critical fan indicates his belief that this powerful role might just change the narrative and win over his audience once again.
