Due to the rediscovered video, internet users denounce Varun Dhawan as “Creep” and “Cheap”:

An old video of Varun Dhawan has infuriated internet users, who have accused the actor of acting inappropriately and breaching boundaries with his co-star Nargis Fakhri. Many social media users have criticised him for his antics during the Main Tera Hero filming, calling him “cheap” and “creepy.”
Because of Varun’s previous “touchy-feely” behaviour, several social media users have called him a repeat offender. Many even said that because of his strong support, no one would criticise him.
In addition, Varun’s relationship with his father throughout the production has drawn criticism from many, who see it as problematic and inappropriate.
Look at a few of these responses,



In general, there has been a strong pushback, with many calling for Varun to take more responsibility for his acts. When the film is properly seen, it is evident that professionalism and boundaries are being disregarded. Regardless of the laid-back vibe frequently found on Bollywood sets, there should always be more tact and respect in these situations.
The video has rekindled conversations about permission and the obligations of performers on set, even though Varun and Nargis have not responded to the issue.
