Varun Dhawan’s online feud with an influencer over Hai Jawani Toh Ishk Hona Hai first look grabs attentionVarun took to social media as he clapped back at an influencer, who revealed how she was approached to review HJTIHH’s first look, and two people insisted she watch it and then review it, when she said she hadn’t watched it yet.
Simran shared a reel, and explained, “Two people stopped us and said a Varun Dhawan film teaser had been released. Can you please review it? I told them I hadn’t watched it yet. The guy said, it’s okay, we’ll tell you what to say. I questioned how it could be a review if they tell us what to say? The girl tried to reason that it’s because I hadn’t watched it yet. But if you want a genuine review, take it from those who have watched it.”

She further added, “The girl insisted that I watch it then. I said it was getting late and I needed to be somewhere. Accha niklo niklo! Jao jao. (Okay, fine, just leave) I was like, bhai, Varun Dhawan ke itne bure din aagaye kya ki usko fake reviews lene pad rahe hai? (Is Varun Dhawan going through such bad times that he needs to fake reviews?) What the hell?”
Varun then went on to comment under her reel, and wrote, “Hope you get the views you really want with this video (claps emoji).” Simran replied to the comment and said,, “@varundvn Sir with due respect I don't need to do these kinds of things for views. I already am satisfied with my numbers…” while also sharing and reiterating the same on her Instagram Stories.
