Post this speculative relationship became the talk of the town, Varun went on record and stated that there was no such thing. He revealed that Alia was a friend of his – and not a ‘friend’ that actors imply while hiding a relationship.
In fact, while in conversation with a daily in 2017, Varun spoke about the Singapore lunch date rumour. He was quoted saying, “Yes, it was very upsetting for me too. And it’s purely due to the fact that Alia and I were working extremely hard [in Singapore] on the film. We were conscious about the fact that we were pairing up for the third time, and so, we were like, ‘we should do something novel and unique.”

While talking about the false linkup rumours with Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan said, “When these things [such rumours] come in, sometimes, it makes your work look frivolous. It makes people say things like, ‘yaar, yeh log yahi kar rahein hain’. It got irritating at that point, but now, it’s fine. It’s part and parcel of being an actor, and you also take such things with a pinch of salt.”
Well, both stars are currently were happy with their respective better halves. While the prep and functions for Varun Dhawan and Natasha Dalal’s wedding are presently underway, news of Alia Bhatt and bf-actor Ranbir Kapoor planning to walk down the aisle are also in the headlines.
