New Delhi: In a humorous and sentimental anecdote, Varun Dhawan reminisces about his childhood friend Shraddha Kapoor and how, at the age of eight, she had him beaten for turning down her proposal. Varun recently reflected on a memorable incident from their youth, when Shraddha, who was a little girl at the time, had a crush on him.
In an interview with YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra, Varun described the event, stating, "We were eight. At this age, what guy likes a girl? I was simply confused about why was she taking me to the mountains… Whatever happened there, we all know."
Varun Dhawan Recalls A Filmy Fight
At Shraddha's tenth birthday celebration, two years after the rejection, four men who had feelings for Shraddha approached Varun. The actor shared, “It was Shraddha’s tenth birthday party. She had invited me to her birthday and she was wearing a frock. At that time, there were around four guys who were in love with Shraddha.”
He elaborated, “These were the guys who liked her. They started fighting with me. I was beaten up. She made them beat me up because I was not accepting her proposal. But, I also beat them up. It was a very filmy scene. And then I went on to take part in the dance competition and even won it. She came third.”
Reflecting on their teenage years, Varun recalled, "When Shraddha became a teenager, she had become incredibly beautiful. We were in different schools, but I participated in a dandiya competition at her school." Unfortunately, Varun had some difficulties throughout the event. Amid the chaos, Varun spotted Shraddha. He said, “When I saw this girl walking in slow motion. It was Shraddha Kapoor. That day, she looked extremely beautiful. That day, I regretted turning her down. We then became friends.”
Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan have worked together in 'ABCD 2' and 'Street Dancer 3D'.
