The feud began when Simran posted a video alleging that the actor’s PR team was attempting to manufacture fake positive sentiment for the film.
What are The Allegations have Varun Dhawan?
Simran Bhat shared a Reel detailing an encounter she and a friend had at the Rajiv Chowk Metro Station in Delhi. According to her, she was approached by two individuals—a man and a woman—who were asking commuters for video reviews of the ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ teaser.
When she honestly told them she hadn’t seen the teaser yet, the situation took an unexpected turn.
“We’ll Tell You What to Say”
Instead of moving on to someone who had seen the clip, the man reportedly told her:
“It’s okay, we’ll tell you what to say.”
The influencer was naturally confused, questioning how a review could be considered genuine if the content was being fed to her by someone else. The woman in the duo tried to justify it, suggesting that since she hadn’t seen it, they were just “helping” her provide a reaction.
When the influencer declined to give a fake review and explained she was in a hurry to get somewhere, the duo’s friendly demeanor reportedly vanished. She claims they dismissively told her, “Accha niklo niklo! Jao jao” (Okay, fine, just leave).

The Big Question: “Bure Din” for Bollywood?
The influencer didn’t hold back in her video, ending her story with a pointed question that has since gone viral:
“Is Varun Dhawan going through such bad times that he needs to resort to faking reviews?”
The video has ignited a massive debate on social media about “Guerilla Marketing” tactics. While it is common for PR teams to gather public reactions for big film releases, the allegation that people are being coached to give positive feedback has left many fans feeling skeptical.
Varun Dhawan Response on these allegations:-
Varun Dhawan did not take the allegations lightly and chose to address the influencer, Simran Bhat, directly on social media. His reaction was a mix of sarcasm and frustration, leading to a brief but intense digital spat.Here is the breakdown of how the actor responded:
- The Sarcastic Clap-BackVarun first responded by leaving a comment directly under Simran’s viral Reel. He wrote: “Hope you get the views you really want with this video “By using the “clapping” emoji, he implied that the influencer was sharing the story not out of a sense of justice, but as a calculated move to gain social media engagement and “clout” using his name.
- The Deleted Accusation According to screenshots shared by Simran, Varun reportedly posted a second, more detailed comment which he later deleted. In that message, he took a sharper tone: “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.”
Varun has not spoken about the issue since then, but the situation has split online users. Some people feel he was right to defend himself, while others think the marketing methods were actually questionable.
