‘Alia Bhatt is dating Aksar from Dubai': Throwback to when birthday boy Varun Dhawan tried to start a rumour; watch
Varun Dhawan is one actor who can share the screen with any diva and create great chemistry. May it be with Kriti Sanon in Bhediya (2022) or with Shraddha Kapoor in Stree 2 (2024). That's not all. In films like Main Tera Hero (2014) and Judwaa 2 (2017), Varun convincingly romanced not one but two heroines! But one jodi that fans can never seem to get enough of is Varun and his fellow student Alia Bhatt. Not just their onscreen chemistry but even their offscreen friendship has a crazy fan following across the nation. Well, today on Varun's 38th birthday, let's take a trip down memory lane to the time he tried to start a fake rumour about Alia. A post shared by n. (@rcnjhaa) It all started during the promotions of Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt's second film together, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014). During an interview, Varun claimed that Alia has a secret boyfriend. He stated, 'There's this boy called Aksar. It's a fact. Dubai mein rehta hai, his name is Aksar.' When Alia asked him to stop making people up, Varun replied, 'You have a full affair going on with this boy.' When they joined Karan Johar on his chat show that year, Varun said he wants to start a rumour about Alia and claimed, 'She's dating this boy in Dubai. Dating this builder in Dubai.' He turned to ask Alia his name and she replied 'Aksar' before telling KJo that Varun has made up the person. A post shared by ᴠᴀʀᴜɴɪᴀᴄ ᴅʜʀɪᴛɪ🕊️ (@varundvnglamorous) Meanwhile, Varun continued to say, 'She's dating this guy from Dubai called Aksar who has highlights, golden highlights.' Years later when Varun and Arjun Kapoor graced Karan Johar's chat show, VD once again brought up Alia's fake love life and said, 'She was dating that boy from Dubai. Ali.' The joke continued during the promotions of their next film Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017). In an interview, Varun revealed, 'He's not from this country, he's from Dubai. We have spoken about him before on this same interview.' Alia clarified, 'There is nobody from Dubai. I don't even know anybody from Dubai. I just know the malls.' But Varun didn't stop and further added, 'His name is Akhmal. Don't lie Alia! She was madly in love with him. You are dating a guy from Dubai. He has golden streaks in his hair.' Interestingly, during the promotions of their next film Kalank (2019), fans got a hint about Alia and her husband Ranbir Kapoor's relationship when she called Varun 'Ran…' by mistake while he was annoying her. Well, this friendship is truly special!
