Starring in three films together, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan's sizzling chemistry never goes unnoticed. With each of their films, rumour mills go abuzz with the reports of Alia and Varun being the alleged love birds. While Varun and Alia chose not to react to these rumours, it has surely been upsetting for the two.
Talking to a leading daily about the link-up rumours, Varun said, "It’s all good. Alia and I have worked together, and we enjoy working with one another. I did my first film with her and we recently shot our third film together. So, it’s all nice and it’s always lovely working with her. People enjoy watching us together, which is the most important thing. At the end of the day, Alia is a friend of mine."
When the two were shooting for 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' in Singapore, there were reports that suggested Alia and Varun had gone on a lunch date. Unlike any other rumour, this rumour had surely "bothered" the two. Talking about the same, Varun said, "Yes, it was very upsetting for me too. And it’s purely due to the fact that Alia and I were working extremely hard 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'."
Further elaborating that the team was putting in a lot of hard work, Varun added, "And when these things 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."
As the actor signed off, he added that he is "completely disconnected" when it comes to "who is saying what or who is writing what."
