Amid the buzz around Varun Dhawan`s upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, an Instagram influencer named Simran Bhat recently posted a reel on Tuesday, in which she accused Varun Dhawan of faking reviews for the film`s first look. She went on to explain how two individuals approached her at the metro station for a review, and insisted on her review even though she hadn`t watched the teaser. Varun responded to her claim by commenting on her reel.
Influencer shares her experience
Simran shared a video explaining that she and her friend were approached by two individuals at Rajiv Chowk Metro. She said, “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 claimed that the woman who had approached her insisted that she watch the teaser then. “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?” Simran added.
Varun Dhawan reacts
Surprisingly, the video reached Varun Dhawan, and he commented under her Reel, writing, “Hope you get the views you really want with this video (claps emoji).” Simran responded to him comment saying, “varundvn Sir with due respect I don`t need to do these kinds of things for views. I already am satisfied with my numbers…” (sic) She further re-shared his comment on her Instagram Stories, reiterating, “With due respect I`m already getting good views and Tbh I`m satisfied with my numbers.”(sic)
She went on to add, “Secondly if I needed attention I should have posted it on my feed but it was a trial reel. And this actually happened with us. Also you should definitely once check with your pr team kyuki isse aapki hi image p farak padd rha h. (because it’s affecting your image).” (sic)
In one of the stories, she also posted a screenshot of another comment by the Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai actor which he seems to have deleted. The second comment by Varun read, “First of all ma`am u have convinced urself that someone who has come and asked u has asked u because I sent them to u all this for views.” Sharing the screenshot, she wrote, “Woh sab toh thik h lekin aapne comment delete kyu kiya (All this is fine but why did you delete this comment?)”(sic)
