Asked specifically about the Kiara incident, he said, “I’m glad you asked me this. It was planned. Both Kiara and I posted that clip. It was for a digital cover, and they wanted some movement and action, so we planned that.” When it was pointed out that Kiara looked taken aback by the kiss, as if it wasn’t discussed in advance, he said, “She’s a good actress. It was completely planned. I’ll admit when things weren’t planned.”

Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani starred alongside each other in JugJugg Jeeyo.

He admitted that when he playfully tried to push Kiara into a pool wasn’t planned. During an event for their film JugJugg Jeeyo, Varun grabbed Kiara by the waist, and almost shoved her into a nearby pool. Kiara could be heard saying, “Stop it, ya.” Reacting to the incident, Varun said in the interview, “That I did on purpose. It was all in good fun. It wasn’t planned. That’s just my nature, I guess.”

A third incident, where Varun touched Alia’s belly, was also unplanned. He said, “I did it in fun. It wasn’t flirting. We’re friends.” Varun and Alia made their acting debut together in Karan Johar’s Student of the Year. They also starred together in films such as Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya, and Kalank. Varun will next be seen in the film Baby John, due out on Christmas Day.
